Waypoint

Last revised: 25 Apr 2009
  A waypoint is a point on the map. In this game, it consists of
  • a number
  • an altitude [in feet]
  • the number of the camp that might be placed there
  • the most tents that will fit on that spot
  • Types of waypoints:

  • Goal -- a waypoint designated as the next campsite, or the summit.
  • Camp -- a waypoint with tents where climbers can spend the night. Each camp has a maximum number of tents which can be placed, due to the precarious nature of most alpine campsites.
  • Base camp -- Camp 0. The headquarters of the expedition, easily accessible by low altitude porters, so food and tents are always plentiful. Climbers recover strength and will in base camp.
