The Climb 2 Speedrun - Oculus Quest - Grand Cambre - New Pro Record 48.8s - Mountain Climbing in VR
Here is my latest record speedrun, in the Climb 2 by Crytek, played on an Oculus Quest 2. The level is Grand Cambre, the medium course in the Alps series and it's both beautiful and challenging.
To get a good time on this course you need to make the most of three key shortcuts, one in each sector:
The first is a long jump across the rock arch at the beginning of the level to cut out the section with the horizontal ladders. To do this you need to launch yourself from the partially concealed ledge to the left of the arch and pull back as you do so to extend the jump far enough to make it to the other side.
The second shortcut requires a flying leap into the cave beyond the zip line. Starting from the girders at the mouth of the cave pull back on the exposed end of the left hand girder and reach out far and low with your right hand as you fall to grab the ledge on the cave wall near to the bottom of the vertical ladder.
The third shortcut is the hardest of all. It's made by taking a vertical leap past the save point on the right hand route at the beginning of the third sector. It takes some practice to pull it off but is worth persevering with as it cuts out a whole sweep of the course round to the right. My tip is to pull the ledge almost to the ground and as you release it simultaneously spring up from a near crouching position to grab the ledge above you.
