→Strategy Hints
* Throw ropes to the center of a ledge to provide safety against rolling snowballs.
* Eagles can pick up one object per flight. If you leave a dangling rope in its path, it can grab the decoy rope first, leaving your climber safe.
===Losing a Climber===
Each player begins the game with three climbers. When a climber is lost, you hear a blood-curdling yell! The screen changes, and the game continues or goes to the next player, depending on the number of players.
You can lose a climber in three ways:
* Being hit with a rolling snowball
* Being carried off by an eagle
* Falling off a ledge and dropping more than one ledge level
After you lose a climber, follow the instructions below for the system you are using.
====TI Home Computer with the MBX Ssystem====
One Player Game
Press any control button or the '''TRIGGER''' button on your MBX joystick as directed by the Level of Play screen. The mountain reappears and another climber is on the starting ledge. One climber symbol disappears near your scoring box.
Two Player Game
When you lose a climber, it is now your opponent's turn. Your opponent presses any control button or the '''TRIGGER''' button on the MBX joystick button and begins to play. There is now one less climber near your scoring box.
====TI Home Computer without the MBX System====
One Player Game
Press the '''FIRE''' button on your Joystick Controller, or the '''SPACE BAR''' on the computer keyboard as directed by the Level of Play screen. The mountain reappears and another climber is on the starting ledge. One climber symbol disappears near your scoring box.
Two Player Game
When you lose a climber, it is now your opponent's turn. Your opponent presses the '''FIRE''' button on the Joystick Controller, or the '''SPACE BAR''' on the computer keyboard and begins to play. There is now one less climber near your scoring box.
'''Note:''' When playing with either system, if you or your opponent loses the last climber allotted to you, the mountain screen freezes and the score in the box is your final score.
