Staying alive on the way up
CheckThe game simulates real-time weather, temperature, and time, all of which eat into your body condition. Storms, hunger, and exhaustion can stop a run cold, as the Hardcore Mountaineer badge proves — it goes to players who survive all three and still reach the top.
- Use campfires to rest and recover your body condition whenever it drops.
- Dress for the temperature bring gear suited to the cold so exposure does not drain you.
- Loot items along the trail supplies you pick up on the mountain reduce how much you need to carry from the shop.
- Use checkpoint camps as save points so a failed stretch does not send you back to the bottom.

Common questions
FAQCan I play without spending anything?
Yes. The supply shop helps, but items you find along the trail can cover your needs.
Do I have to play with others?
No, solo runs work fine. Teaming up helps when someone's body condition crashes and they need to be carried.
