Now, I love the jumping puzzles, and I love setting myself some challenging targets to try to climb to

So once I got up to the Sky Docks Waypoint and saw this in front of me, I was pretty excited. I mean, they gave us these amazing skills to climb pretty much anything, and that tower is just begging to be climbed

And sure enough, all three kinds of crystals were hidden around the base of that tower as well (there are diving goggles up there, so that’s one reason they’re there, but you can get so much further!)

Now, unfortunately you only get 10 uses out of any skill, and once you get to the log tower the assisted leap skill is pretty much the only one that’s useful (almost), so you can’t afford to waste it. It took me quite a few tries before I learned to get to the tower without using assisted leap a lot

But I got pretty good at it, and can now reliably get to the base of the tower while only using the assisted leap once. Once up there the beams seem almost perfectly (though trickily) placed for jumping up, but once I get to this point I discovered something horrible: I clip through any further beams

It seems as if I wasn’t meant to climb all the way to the top after all. After further investigating (it seems you can use skills that let you pick a location to find out what are solid objects and what aren’t) it turns out pretty much anything above this point is just for show, you can’t climb any of it

Which just seem like such a missed oppurtunity. I mean just look at that tower, it is perfect for climbing

I got a pretty nice view from up there, but I was hoping for a better one

Interesting
maybe that’s because ANet didn’t believe that anybody would make it up there and still have charges on skills….

Wow, I need to figure out how to get up there…..working on trying to beat a guildmate’s falling damage record….currently at 2.2 million HP. >.>

I hope they didn’t change anything about this. It’s do-able, and without ports as shown here!
