Just did the classic route. That was amazing, but stupid me forgot to change the background even though i had added it. Thanks for this man

best map on this game, ive just managed to no checkpoint the classic route and it feels incredible, please make more like this!

I did it! Incredible!

dude fucking loved the map, your a c**** though haha love the ending

Thanks a lot for the nice comments! Because of that I created a bigger updated: I improved all routes. The difficult alternatives are easier now. All reach to the summit - I added the upper Westflank to get to the top. All routes interlink each other at several points. However due to the big size I started deleting objects, especially unnecessray spikes, which are a heavy load for GPUs. Hopefully it is smooth enough. I will keep an eye on it and might single out the routes as extra maps. Thanks a again, climb save!

This is what this game was made for. Not only is it a fun climb, it is also both educational and entertaining! I love how there are facts and bits of information spread about the climb! This is one of, if not THE BEST climbing experience in the game. Cheers

THis is the best experience i have ever had in any VR game. Love it! Listened to some music while climbing and i was the best 42 minutes ever!!

absolutely amazing! thank you so much for this

Best map I've played! Everyone who's joined the server has specificaly said something related to Holy fecal matter.

Thx ! This is a really challenging and fun experience. Thanks so much , didn't even finish first route but this map alone makes this games totally worth it! Love your amazing work!

The UPDATE is out now! (see description text and images)

And there is a second map, to get a first impression of the wall the easy way by just flying through it: "Eiger North Face Teaser E1 Update".

The hard version will not have many fans, which is why I postponed it indefinitely. But I will polish and maintain the existing one.

The background image / skybox is improved now. Use the new link in the description or right below (changed size, deleted ski lift, and smoothed transition)

There is progress: The two additional routes do exist now, including an improved map and new features. But before publishing the long and hard part comes: testing, adjusting, finding the right difficulty.

Obstacles:
- difficult routes need much more time for testing than easier routes
- decision about the degree of difficulty (The skill range of players is very wide; there is a fine line between boredom, entertainment, and frustration.)
- mild performance issues because of the many spikes in the level

Current ideas / roadmap
+ two separate maps - for casual players and challenge seekers
+ hence, first polishing the hard route, then fork to an easier version
+ performance issue: not sure yet, it seems there is only a problem for me while uploading, not so much for the players. Tests will show.
+ ETA: a couple of weekends… dont pin me down on this!

Climb save!

sooooo great!! thx for all the hard work!

Thanks for your nice comments. I started working on an update - two additional routes, that are more difficult and have new features/climbing (jumping) problems:

+ “Direttissima” – straight line to the summit
+ through the “Red Fluh” to the Mushroom

It will take a while, since I wont do it in rush as last time. The first public version took me 40-50 hours over 2-3 weeks.

Very awesome and impressive, not so difficult but it's really worth it. This map is clever, took me 36mins first time round.

this was probably the most fun ive ever had playing climbey so far, amazing map! how long did it take to create? pretty amazing job using the level editor i gotta say! this, the subzero submarine map, and to a lesser extent the space station ones blow me away in terms of creativity and quality!

that took seriously long... but i enjoyed it

Thank you for your feedback!

As far as I know and have observed:

* 40+/- min is the average time for players who are familiar with Climbey but new to the map AND want to enjoy the experience
* 60+/- mins beginners or freshmen of Climbey should reserve
* 15 min and less one can expect for competitive runs with good jumping skills

I have seen beginners struggling with simple things and a badass who flew up the wall. My focus was not a “race track” but a mountaineering experience that many should be able to enjoy.

Tip: Try to find the hidden and easier variant in the “Ramp”. From the standard point of view your line of sight is blocked but the grips are actually all visible. It is like with real climbing – often you have to look for the best grips with “climbers instinct” ;-)**. And there is a very hard option >into< the “Ramp” too, however it does not have an advantage.

**Maybe one day I extend this “concept” to other parts of the wall.

Really good, took me 40mins first time round.

love this map :)

It looks really good, I look forward to trying.
