What a thrill.

What does that entail? Just go up until you hit the killbox?

Like the Oracle of Delphi you speak!

Pythia, the highpriest of the temple of Apollo at Delphi, couldn't have spoken more mysterious

[Nicholas Gurr, Blackpill Ph.D]

With darkness and silence through the night.

[Doc✪Hollywood]

Who's riding so late where winds blow wild?
It is the father grasping his child;
He holds the boy embraced in his arm,
He clasps him snugly, he keeps him warm.

"My son, why cover your face in such fear?"
"You see the elf-king, father? He's near!
The king of the elves with crown and train!"
"My son, the mist is on the plain."

'Sweet lad, o come and join me, do!
Such pretty games I will play with you;
On the shore gay flowers their color unfold,
My mother has many garments of gold.'

"My father, my father, and can you not hear
The promise the elf-king breathes in my ear?"
"Be calm, stay calm, my child, lie low:
In withered leaves the night-winds blow."

'Will you, sweet lad, come along with me?
My daughters shall care for you tenderly;
In the night my daughters their revelry keep,
They'll rock you and dance you and sing you to sleep.'

"My father, my father, o can you not trace
The elf-king's daughters in that gloomy place?"
"My son, my son, I see it clear
How grey the ancient willows appear."

'I love you, your comeliness charms me, my boy!
And if you're not willing, my force I'll employ.'
"Now father, now father, he's seizing my arm.
Elf-king has done me a cruel harm."

The father shudders, his ride is wild,
In his arms he's holding the groaning child,
Reaches the court with toil and dread. -
The child he held in his arms was dead

Almost. You don't have to reach the kill box, just the point where you start taking damage over time. The kill box is further.

took me about 30 minutes of building ladder up and up and up and up and up until I could see the entire map below me. As soon as you take damage, you can either take another 30 minutes going down slowly, deleting the ladder, revert to a save, or leave it and just jump.

I have such ladder myself but I began construction at the higher point on the map...rocky doeset north west side a mount with an impure uranium node.
I build it for the achievement(s)
I forget how long it took to build because I kept running out of depot iron rods and had to take a break.
But I can saw it takes almost 5 minutes to climb stating near the uranium node which is already pretty high up.

I left it up there I used it with the parachute to clear the fog from the entire map in about 3 trips. now its just a tourist attraction on the map having no other functional purpose but to exist.
