Timberwolf Mountain Summit Challenge

[LucidFugue]

After exploring Timberwolf mountain and making it to the top o fthe summit on Stalker, I realised it would be possible to race up to the top, as crafting clothing was completely unnecessary. I know many more experienced players know this as well, but I thought I'd hone my survival skills by testing myself. This was my time:

I'm sure i can do better. But I thought I'd invite everyone else to have a go and see what time you can do. It's no Sea to Summit Challenge but I'd consider it something of a sprint in comparison.

Some of my notes from this run:

Starting in the mountaineer's hut was excellent as I had an instant hacksaw and a good path to the cargo crates with food, can openers/firestrikers, and clothes.

Taking climbing rope is unnecessary (at least unless there's a better route that would make use of it?)

Hit up caves for firewood and as a place to warm up and you won't need a hatchet.

Go torches 24/7 for the warmth bonus. Wood is not scarce.

Know your route and you can navigate even at night.

If you start at the deer clearing spawn point instead, you can climb up the mountain directly. No coffee or anything required. 

Takes about 2-3 hours if I recall correctly. ^^

Lol, I didn't know that was a valid spawn point! You're right, that's ridiculously close. I've decided to give the Sea to Summit challenge a go, as it is a bit more involved.

Beyond that, I've been thinking of a 3 towers challenge. Doing a circuit starting at any of the following:

Forestry Lookout in ML,

Abandoned Lookout in CH,

Radio Control Hut in PV,

Visiting each one before returning to your start point.
