Climbing or No? - Chief Delphi

You'll find that there are plenty of teams and individuals who shout. You'll also find there are a smaller subset of teams and individuals that do. Those that do tend to be the ones that get their way. - Lil' Lavery [more]

I think a lot of teams are really underestimating the difficulty of climbing this year.

There is a good reason its worth so many points.

Yep. If climbing is not your top priority, above gears or fuel, then odds are high you will have a successful climb rate well below 50%.

There are no past games with good reapplies to climb a rope, and one of the volume configurations actively makes climbing more difficult.
