Rock Climbing can help you to climb the mountain, but only if you are on expedition with at least 1 other Sim.
Rock Climbing is perhaps the most interesting of the three new skills in The Sims 4 Snowy Escape. Unlike the others, it has a purpose in allowing Sims to group up and attempt to tackle Mount Komorebi's summit. You'll find some very useful side abilities in this skill that are amazing for adventuring. For instance, the protein and energy bars that Rock Climbers can craft.
How to: Rock Climbing Cheats
Press Control + Shift + C then type testingcheats on and press enter. You can now set your skill level with stats.set_skill_level major_rockclimbing x (fill in 1-10) - we also have a full listing of Sims 4 Cheats and a master list of Cheats in The Sims 4 Snowy Escape
Your Sim can stretch to prepare for a climb. This gives you a +1 focused moodlet for 4 hours.
Near the Bunny Slopes on Mt. Komorebi's northernmost area, you'll find a small rock wall Sims can climb. This is the starter wall, and you can find an intermediate one on the opposite side of the neighborhood. Basically, the taller it is, the harder it is to climb.
The ideal mood for climbing is focused, of course. Stretching can help your Sim get into this mood, but it can fail and result in an uncomfortable moodlet sometimes.
This is the entry-level rock climbing wall. It'll hurt, but it's not far enough to kill your clumsy Sim.
While I didn't go into accidents on Snowboarding and Skiing, it's very much worth mentioning here. A fall from a great height can most definitely kill your Sim, though it's not guaranteed to do so. Using gear and not climbing during particularly icy conditions (like climbing in a blizzard) are helpful to avoiding a Sim's demise. Overall if you are iffy, use the investigate route ability on the rock wall to see how difficult it will be for your Sim at that time.
Safe rock climbing can begin with lots of practice or research. You are not only able to buy Climbing Gear on the computer, but can also find a Research Hand Hold Techniques under the Browse menu which will help you gain skill without being out in the cold.
Your Sim needs gear to do really well, though you can of course climb without it. Owning gear will improve your Sim's success rates. You can find gear for around $450 under the order menu on computers. Why is it not in vending machines like the snowboard and skis? Who knows. You click this in your inventory to equip the gear and from there will have all the benefits.
At least one other Sim must accompany yours on an excursion. I suggest both have level 6 Rock Climbing at minimum, or you may not make it very far.
Rock climbing plays a big role in Excursions up Mt. Komorebi. It is the main thing you need to be able to do, other than manage a Sim's mood while in the wilderness that is the mountain. You can learn more about excursions when my page about them is done, so check back in the next 24 hours!
It requires you to have some produce, but the ability to make protein and energy bars is really nice!
At levels 7 and 9, Sims learn to craft Energy and Protein bars, respectively. Energy bars require Apple and Cherry, while Protein bars take Blackberry and Strawberry. These are very much needed in order to craft them (1 of each) but they can be made anywhere you are. The energy bar I tried restored a ton of hunger and was quick to eat, so they're highly effective.
Your Sim can stretch to prepare for a climb. This gives you a +1 focused moodlet for 4 hours.
Energy Bars and Protein Bars have a 6 hour cooldown so you won't be saving an entire expedition with these, but they can help in a big way when you only have a couple Sims on the mountain. The cooldown isn't shared, you can make both every 6 hours. Energy bars do recover some energy as you might expect, but Protein bars go a bit further by locking your hunger and energy decay to 85% of normal for 3 hours.

When you start a mountain excursion, where is the trail map marker for part one?
My sims are at the top of the mountain but I can’t find a marker anywhere.
Ride to the top of the ski slope; walk behind it, find the rock wall and climb to the top. At the top, there's a small sign (similar size to a fishing location) and "Consult Trail Map Marker". Your climbing members should also have made it here, another option is to just follow them once you get to the bath house.
Hi. I’ve read there is a rock climbing training house in the traditional neighbourhood. I can’t find it - do you know where it is? Thanks you
I don't know about a house but there is a beginners wall where you can 'practice' as opposed to 'climb'. Just look around carefully near the base of the mountain around where the gondola access area is.
I haven't seen one in a new save, but I did find numerous climbing gyms on the gallery, and downloaded one onto an empty lot.
awesome information i was having trouble looking
That rock climbing cheat doesn't work.
Are you sure? Worked for me. Enable testingcheats true first, then add the cheat and replace the X at the end with number 10.
Is there a tall wall climbing spot anywhere? I can’t seem to find it.
I was coming to try and find out the same thing - at level 8, sims stop gaining skill on the medium wall at the top of the ski lift. Apparently we have to go on expeditions just to practice to make it to level 10? Or, maybe books or the climbing wall will still work.
The tallest Rock Climbing Wall is found on the mountain itself :)
It's to the right of the rental below the mountain, it's the practice wall near the sign.
Here's something I found out: You can also build Rock Climbing skill by using the Top Hit Rock Climbing Wall from the Fitness stuff pack, but I haven't found out any pros or cons from this yet, aside from the obvious that it's quite a bit safer than climbing an actual cliff.
Does anyone know if all Sims in the climbing group have to achieve level 9 climbing skill first? I am playing with a single Sim household, so I don't have any way of knowing what their friend's climbing skill level will be ahead of time.
So far it seems that all sims have to be at least level 8, which is frustrating because I read a guide somewhere that just said they all had to be at least level 6 but that is in no way the case. In order to climb the tall rock wall and move on they will have to be level 8, and at least one sim has to be level 9 to climb courageously.
Where are the bunny slopes?
Nevermind I found it - it's directly north of the lot that starts as rental 5-1-1 Kiyomatsu, sending people to the gondola is totally off track.
Can I ask what Pack/Mod Gives the "Black and White Bash" displayed in the screenshot for the event excursion?
Is there a digital downloadable version of your Sims 4 Guide? Either free or for a cost?
