Climbing to Signal Hill

[Connudatus]

***slight spoiler***

I am in Pleasant Valley and have been there for a few days. I made camp in PV Farmstead, but started out in Signal Hill. I have a bunch of hides up there and need to go pick them up. I dropped a rope from the top of that hill, but I am not sure I can make the climb up it. Its pretty damn high... Has anyone done it? Any advice? I've just hit the 20 day mark and haven't used the rifle or Killed a single thing. Trying to make it to 50.

I've used the rope, after placing it, to move all my stuff from the Farmstead to Signal Hill then onto the Carter Hydro Dam.

There is a shelf towards the top where you can rest and make a fire.

If you run out of puff you can go back down with little energy lost. Decide early when climbing.

It has a rest section on the middle... just take a nap there o a cup of coffe, the view is awesome

There's usually a stim in signal hill. Leave it at the bottom of the rope next time, will be useful for a one way ticket to the top.

I usually just head towards the long curve and walk up the slopes to signal hill.

I normally head to the left side of signal hill as you look from the farmstead, past the bear cave (carefully), and up the steep slope just beyond the rope. Grab the rope and continue along the ridge up to the radio mast. I've never bothered trying to climb the long rope up, too lazy.

Walking up the way as Brock said is much faster than walking towards the rope. Also you do not get exhausted.

I tend to go up the hill to the right of the Signal Hill (looking from the Farmstead), and never climb the rope.

The first time I found it, I was lost and discovered the Pensive Pond, and then a road--I know all roads lead somewhere good, so I crossed the bridge and continued along. It's a much longer route up to Signal Hill, but it was a lovely hike while exploring the map.

There are two ways up to signal hill without climbing. One near the map boundary in south (Long curve) and another one near the bear cave next to the heartbreak bridge.

The first one is much longer, but the second one - just walk up the steep slope near the bear cave then there will be a steep slope near the lower falls. Do not cross the falls but walk up the slope and stick to the right. 250m later you have reached the Signal hill.
If you can see the Pensive Pond then you went to much towards north. No need to cross the river.
