How to get to Timberwolf Summit?

[Nowo-owon]

I'm doing one of the challenge that requires to get a flare gun from there, but I don't know much of my bearing since I haven't explored all too greatly being a recent survival player.

I know how to get to the lighthouse. So, I think I'm okay with that regard.

I would do it like this:

Mountaineer's Hut > Wing (watch out for bear/moose/wolves) > across fallen tree bridge > walk to first rope climb > walk around to second rope climb > Secluded Shelf indoor cave is a good overnight sleeping location > walk around to third rope climb > summit

The "Secluded Shelf indoor cave" is marked by the dotted line on my map. If I remember correctly, you have to crouch through a little crawlspace inside the cave at one point. Note that the third summit rope climb is very long. Recommend using a coffee and/or being at 100% stamina before climbing.

Note that the quickest way to get down from the Summit is actually just to billy-goat straight down the face of the mountain, in the direction of the Mountaineer's Hut / Crystal Lake. You can bandage or rest any sprains at the hut. You should be loaded up on first aid supplies anyway. :o)

My rout is the same as wilky's so I second this recommendation.

Bring coffee and if you get hit by a blizzard or you need to rest consider deer clearing cave for a short one and even better indoor cave after you get up to secluded shelf. You will need energy for the big climb.

Good luck!

If you have an emergency stim you can use it when you are tired to do one more rope climb before sleep.

Remember, 7 days is the time limit for the whole challenge, not just getting to the summit! I made this mistake on my first attempt, and got to the summit on Day 7. I might have been able to complete it still, but I jumped off the peak when I realized I had less than a day left to travel 3 regions

OP, Wilky's route is a good one. Personally, I prefer using the "left" route, using the caves so that I can rest: so using Cave C to D, and then walking around to Deer Clearing. That way, I don't use stims or coffee on the way up for the first go around (as I save them for after I have deployed all ropes - that way, I can summit it one day).

Either route (and I think there are even more variations) will work. I suggest looking at the map Wilky linked.

Whatever route you take, it is a good idea to have a couple of days of food, coffee, stims and a sleeping bag. Good luck.
