Choose a mode below to begin your climb.
Arrow keys / A-D, or hold left/right side of the mountain on touch | R = Restart from Base Camp
Game Modes
🏔️ Summit — climb to 8,848m (Everest's height) and win. Ropes, thermoses, and crampons all spawn normally.
⚠️ Free Solo — same 8,848m goal, but no ropes ever spawn and no checkpoints. One fall and it's over — no safety net at all.
📍 In Summit mode only, falling doesn't end your run — you respawn at the last camp you reached, and everything above it regenerates at random. Press R at any time to give up and restart from Base Camp.
♾️ Endless — no summit, no limit, no checkpoints. One fall ends the run — climb for as long as you can and chase a high score.
Power-ups
🪢Rope — saves you once from a fall or slip. In Summit mode you can stack as many as you find; in Endless you can only hold one at a time. (Not available in Free Solo.)
🔥Thermos — 3 mega-bounces in a row
🧗Crampons — ~10s of safe, full-grip footing, even on ice
Ledges
Rock — solid footing, rebuilds your grip
Ice — slides side to side, drains grip
Gold — bobs up and down
Scree — crumbles a moment after you land
Grip meter
The bar above the mountain — let it hit zero and your bounce weakens until you land on solid rock again.
💨 A strong gust hits every time you reach a new camp, as the mountain gets harder — brace for it.
