If you cannot make it up the hill you are trying to climb before your stamina runs out, try looking for resting spots along the way. These might include walls and fences, trees, or flatter patches of hillside -- basically anywhere that you could turn your climbing off and not plunge to your death. In some places (like [[Dragon's Fang]] Mountain on Freedom), players have created 'ladders' out of strategically-placed fences, to allow traversal of very steep slopes. They are spaced out at intervals that allow most uninjured players to climb to the next 'rung' of the ladder (fence section) before their stamina runs out.

In a similar principle, climbing a thickly-wooded hillside can be accomplished by hopping from tree to tree, in a process some players call 'tree climbing'. Start at the bottom of the slope, and select a likely tree that looks like it will be approximately 2/3rds as far up the slope as you could climb with full stamina. Then turn on climbing, and make your way up so you are a little above the tree on the hillside. The next part is tricky. You want to position yourself so that when you turn off climbing, the tree is *exactly* downhill from you. That way Wurm won't make you slip off of either side of the tree, and you can stay still long enough to regain your stamina. In practice, you almost never nail that equilibrium position on your first shot. In this case, what will probably happen is, by the time you can hit the climb button again (if you have enough stamina left to do so; this is why we left 1/3 of it over), you will have slid a considerable way down the slope, and sustained some injuries. If you are lucky, however, you will remain balanced behind the tree long enough to see which direction you are slipping. In that case, start trying to walk in the opposite direction! You want to counter the slipping with your attempts at walking. If you are close enough to the equilibrium point, you will be able to stabilize yourself eventually this way, and hopefully hit true equilibrium. Once you have regained your stamina, repeat! This can be a frustrating but rewarding process.

Description

Climbing is the skill of climbing slopes that are too steep for you to walk across normally (those with over 23 slope).

Notes

  • Your climbing skill will increase the more you climb, but body stamina affects how far you can climb more than climbing skill does.
  • Climbing consumes much more stamina than walking.
  • Climbing is turned on and off with the button that looks like a person ascending a slope in the quickbar (icon shown below).
  • If you are climbing uphill while dragging a cart or carrying lots of weight otherwise, your stamina drops considerably faster.
  • If you don't have enough stamina to activate climbing while you're swimming to get out of the water, then you can activate Last gasp.
  • Beware: some slopes are very steep, and once you have low stamina you will stop climbing -- possibly falling to your death.
  • When climbing and unable to find a sufficiently flat tile to rest, a small amount of stamina can be instantly restored by drinking wine. Many large mountains can be scaled by simply repeated drinking 1g of wine (measured in a measuring jug) whenever your stamina gets low.
