The climb
98 platforms spiral up 720 m from the ground under the tower, an average of 7.3 m a step. The platform count is not decoration: it is chosen so that the average rise suits what the climb is meant to ask for, and the same arithmetic that places the mesh places the summit the server checks against — one formula, two consumers, so the server can never think the top is somewhere a body cannot stand.
Dash and Tether together, over and over.
At the top
The summit stands 941.6 m above sea level and 727 m above the ground you started on. A canopy waits there, and a parachute is handed over — which is the only thing this game gives you for reaching a high place.
