The start of the game, when you climatise steadily and the weather has minimal effect, can easily fool new players into underestimating the later difficulty. Maintaining a level of climatisation that allows for unexpected weather or risk effects is important. You also need to be aware of how quickly a prolonged period of bad weather can wear away at your climbers in no time.

Also, your points are based on the highest that a climber has been. You can often win by getting both climbers up to 7000m, and back to safety, when another climber has rushed for the summit but died in the process (points fall back down to 1).

– Maintain a buffer of acclimatisation
– Take heed of the weather forecast
– Plan your movements well and place your tents strategically.
– Don’t try to rush the summit – It’s often unlikely to work.
