Personal space, Climbot!

Cairn’s QOL update gave Climbot a better idea of your bubble, meaning he will stay farther away from your climbing spot, even in Free Solo mode!

We just added new Photo Mode options to Cairn!

Now you can change Aava’s outfit, add fun logos, and more!

At least in photomode, you can finally have climbing shoes ;)

As you climb in Cairn you’ll unearth Kami’s hidden past. Walking in the footprints of earlier failed expeditions, you might just discover the remnants of the civilization that lived in the mountain. Where did they all go? What answers wait in these grand ruins?

Cairn is more than just a climbing game. Its also a human adventure: the story of a determined alpinist and a reflection on mountaineering itself. On what drives people to push themselves beyond their limits to climb mountains.

Marco’s a talented climber, but he’s in it for the journey, not the destination. His carefree attitude is a bit frustrating to battle tested climber Aava. Does he have what it takes to survive the unforgiving Mt. Kami…?
