Hello Climbers, today we want to show you another mountain recently implemented in the game - Gasherbrum I, as well as a new gameplay concept we're testing right now.
Let us be your guide:
The highest summit in the Gasherbrum nest, at the height of 8080 m. In order to start climbing, you have to traverse an 11 km glacier filled with ice rifts. After a technically demanding road in a couloir, you reach the distinctive summit in the shape of a fish's fin.
In-game map of the mountain:
1. The starting point of the expedition, an easy way to the first camp.
A. Camp one, from here you'll start your way to the top.
2. Dangerous approach, the long icy glacier slope between the rocks, very steep.
3. Land decline, boulders, and the beginning of the chasms.
4. Large risk of falling rocks, a chasm to overcome.
5. Vertical ice wall. Climbing axes are required.
B. Convenient place to regenerate after climbing.
6. Gentle approach to another ice wall.
C. The last place to set a camp safely.
7. Snowy and steep traverse with a chasm in the middle and on the left side.
8. Summit road. Moderately easy in good weather. Starts with a short climb.
The hardest moments of Gasherbrum I climb will await you at the start, the glacier slope requires serious preparation (bring loads of ice screws and at least 100-150m of rope with you!) and belay.
Watch out for how much rope you got left!
Another difficult moment comes when traversing huge chasms, you'll have to figure out how to get past them, because the ladder may simply not be enough!
More exciting things await you on the way to the Gasherbrum I top,
but we'll let you discover them out for yourself when Climber: Sky is the Limit will be out!
We'll keep you updated with all the stuff it's currently going on in the game development,
