If, indeed, the aircraft had reached cruising altitude it is possible that a pressurisation failure could have let to a rapid descent to below 10000 feet and that the crew were not fully aware of the terain hazard.

This would be evident from CVR recordings if available.
As always, this is pure speculation and there is seldom a single cause for an accident, there is almost always a chain of contributing factors.
