I have decided I shall direct my scientists to research this exciting new technology.

Oddly, past 7500 there are occasional platforms again.

Hmm.. the highest I've ever gotten is about 2500 or so. Clearly I must abandon reasonable sleep cycles in the attainment of this goal.

This makes the climbing go much faster: fall down below a block and shoot your grapple straight up so it'll catch just at the edge of its range. Hold Z and steer so you're just to either side of the block. Release grapple when you're even with the block. Catch major air.

It's all about the rubber-band physics. With careful falling and slingshotting you can conquer even the great empty spaces in the Upper Wastes.

You should also hold Up during these slingshots, to minimize the length of the rope for extra pull.

I'm aware of the horizontal momentum glitch, but I am also pretty baffled as to what causes it or what to do about it.
