How To Climb Mountains Faster

any mountain

1- go to www.youtube.com/RyanLegend94 for a video tutorial on this...

2- When you are trying to climb a mountain, it often times takes a large amount of time to get to the top. Well, it doesn't need to. What you want to do is grapple onto the side of the mountain and right when you are about to reach the side, deploy your parachute.

As soon as you have done this, release your parachute. You should notice that you look like you are jumping really high.

Then, just grapple onto another part of the mountain before you land and repeat the process.

It took me maybe 20 seconds to get to the top of the tallest mountain in the game, so its worth doing it!
