Is this the revival of Kami’s golden age of tourism?  We couldn’t be happier to have welcomed 200,000 climbers to the mountain over the weekend.

100,000 climbers have taken to Kami's walls in just 24 hours! Thank you for joining the ascent. We hope you feel the passion we baked into the mountain!

Cairn embargo is up and I am so pleased to say the game is a triumph. Gorgeous, nerve-wracking, and I don't think I've ever heard a vocal performance like the one given by the protagonist. Just a coiled spring of determination and anger. Remarkable.
