Climbing

Climbing is the skill used to scale cliffs, large changes in elevation and climb trees. It also allows the player to climb over fences. Climbing trees allows you to see farther distances and is great for hunting and spotting animals (be sure to use it in the world map rather than in the zoomed-in screen). At times, even high elevation doesn't provide as much detail as climbing a tree would.

Climbing can be dangerous, and can result in injury to the climber, usually in the form of bruises. To minimize the chance for injury, make sure you have some form of clothing or armour to protect yourself. Avoid climbing trees when overloaded or when it is raining, both of which greatly increase the risk of falls.

If you have low Warmth armor, climbing a tree at "Rather Warm" might well drop your body temperature to "Freezing cold" and cause frostbite injuries in winter.

One of the quickest skills to increase, since climbing is so useful and often used.
