Actually, I recently found an easier way to climb the mountain, it starts from the third pill (at the other side of the mountain). I have a record of it, so I will post it to YouTube as a "guide", but it won't be a run submission because I accidentally fell before taking the pill... The top of the mountain is the hardest part, because it is so easy to fall or get stuck there.
I've done a run in this now, but idk if tree boosts are allowed in this? I mean, The intended rules are not to use R to boost yourself, but you're able to get a slight boost from trees if you only jump into them. I didn't use tree boosts in the run, though.
I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be allowed, when the rules states not using rocket boosts. Finnsmith will decide I guess.
Yeah, I though so too, but I thought I'd ask first at least. We'll see what Finnsmith says, yeah.
Only rule is not to use the rocket boost (pressing R), so as long as you're doing it without using that, that's fine
I'll see how fast I can get the third pill. 33.5s sounds really good, though. Keep it up. (Edit) Got a sub 33s third pill. Used trees for this. Without I get around the same time as you did.
Here's the current route:
I haven't experimented with all the trees yet, but the ones used here are safe.
