How to rest with the crampons?

[dizzy]

If I recall correctly, when we first get the crampons, their description mentions that they can be used to rest on walls by pushing forward, yet when I do it and the character sticks both of them into the wall I just fall off as soon as I release my grip. Is this intentional?

Did this happen on a specific map? As long as you hold forward while crampons have been activated, you should be able to rest on the wall

Same problem here. I can not stand still with a pair crampons attached to the ice and pressing the forward button. My hands have to grap something to avoid the fall.

I'm not 100% sure if you're having this problem, but if you hold forward, it'l stab the crampons into the wall, but if you continue to hold forward, it'll start removing them. There should be an icon that appears on screen. When that is full and both legs are in the wall, stop holding forward. Your feet should be attached to the wall when you look down even though you're no longer holding forward. At that point, it should be safe to let go of the hand holds. Just don't hold any directional key again until you've grabbed another hand hold and you're ready to remove the crampons.

Some walls won't let you stab your crampons into them for rest, so that's worth keeping in mind too. The animation and sounds won't even play in those instances, so it should be easy to tell the difference.

I hope that makes sense. The crampon resting mechanic changed at some point, so it's a little different than just holding forward and being safe.

Thank you for your detailed explanation.
