QUICK ANSWER

Search before climbing, keep weight low, plan a safe line, and save strong recovery tools for later biomes.

01

Before you climb

Treat Shore as a preparation zone. Open luggage, share useful equipment, and identify the safest visible route before spending stamina.

  • Carry only what solves a likely problem.
  • Cook food when a fire is available.
  • Keep one emergency recovery item accessible.
02

Climbing basics

Holding a wall consumes stamina. Rest on stable ground, use placed equipment deliberately, and avoid committing to a route with no visible recovery point.

  • Short controlled moves are safer than panic climbing.
  • Weight reduces your effective stamina.
  • A teammate can assist from a stable position.
03

Checkpoint rhythm

Campfires and end-of-biome checkpoints are the natural places to regroup, cook, rebalance supplies, and plan the next ascent.
