A race against time on the roof of the world. Four roped teams climbing as one man. One slip can spell disaster.
Each player chooses a colour and takes five men of that colour, together with two black and two white ropes. Three of the men are roped together with the two white ropes. They are placed on the forward positions marked in the corner of the board as the support party. The other two men are roped together with the two black ropes and placed on the back positions marked in the corner of the board. They are the assault party. Climbing routes are marked by red, yellow ( difficult ) and green ( easy ) lines. The support team at some point during the climb must link up with and be roped to the assault team in order to successfully reach the summit.
The winner is the first to get to the summit of the mountain in the centre of the board and return to base camp.

A clever and challenging game.
