Salty´s Movement: Climb Mountain is a Vintage Story mod by SaltyWater. Climb stone and ore mountain walls, move across surfaces, slide to control falling, and reach the final ledge with Catch Ledge.
Why this mod is worth installing
This mod suits players who want mountain traversal to feel more active and less dependent on long detours. Catch Ledge is needed for finishing climbs at the final block.
What Salty´s Movement: Climb Mountain adds
Face a climbable stone or ore wall and hold Space to attach to it. While hanging on the surface, you can move upward or sideways, release the key when needed, and use Sneak to let go.
The movement system supports changing to adjoining walls, sliding downward, and making a vertical jump while stationary. These options make it possible to follow uneven mountain faces instead of treating every cliff as a single flat surface.
While falling, holding Space lets the character slide along the wall and cancel momentum. The character remains pressed against the surface until the movement is stabilized, after which Catch Ledge can help secure the final block.
The mod is intended to work with Catch Ledge and can be used alongside Vigor. A look-around control that does not rotate the character is especially useful during climbs, since turning the body toward the view can cause a fall.
Hold Space while facing a stone or ore mountain wall to begin climbing. From the wall, the character can move upward or sideways, and Sneak releases the grip.
And slide down
The character can descend by sliding down the mountain wall instead of dropping away from it.
You can switch walls too
The climbing movement allows the character to transfer onto an adjoining wall while following the mountain’s shape.
And jump vertically while idle
When stationary on the wall, the character can make a vertical jump to continue the ascent.
The mod also has a break momentum mechanic
Hold Space while falling to slide along the wall and reduce the momentum of the descent.
The character holds onto the wall against gravity and cannot move until the remaining momentum is cleared. Catch Ledge can then be used to secure the final block, either by approaching it or timing a vertical jump.

I highly recommend using:
Use a look-around control that does not rotate the character while climbing; turning the body with the view can make the character lose the wall.
