Climbing was added in The Mines Update. It allows you to climb through Ladders by pressing E (PC), pressing File:Xbox Button X.png (Xbox) and the climb button on mobile devices.

Overview

Climbing allows the player to change their elevation without the use of stairs, ramps, drops, or elevators.

Animation

First Person

• The player's camera sways back and forth and the player's arms will slide down/up the Ladder before going off the ladder and going back up/down and repeating.
  • The player's arms are in opposite intervals.
  • The arm that player looks towards is the one that goes off the ladder down/up then back on.

Third person

• The player's arms and legs slide up or down the ladder then slide down or up again.
  • The player visibly moves up or down the ladder.
  • The player's arms are in opposite intervals.
• The player seemingly teleports off the ladder and onto the ledge at the top.

• 

  Climbing loop animation.

Bugs

• If a player is teleported while climbing a ladder, the next time they stop climbing a ladder, they will be teleported into the exit of the ladder first mentioned if it still hasn't despawned.
  • This is mostly known as it commonly happens if the button of The Nest is finally pressed while a player is climbing a ladder. They will be teleported back into the ladder in The Nest when they leave the ladder at Door 151, being stuck unless they are teleported by Void.

Trivia

• Like Hiding, any Screech on the player will despawn with a fading-out animation when the player attempts to climb something.
  • SCJVEREECH will not despawn and can still damage and kill the player when climbing.
• Despite the fact that there are ladders in the Hotel (Like in the The Library) you cannot climb them.
• Dread can spawn while you are on a ladder, as a substitute of Screech to discourage AFK.
• While climbing, the player can move their camera up and down all the way but it is locked form turning past 180°.
  • This is the same camera lock system as when Hiding.
• Before The Mines nerf, climbing used to be slower.
• Eyes (and Lookman) can't damage the player if they are climbing.
