[4] The game features a double-sided board with one side representing an easy ascent and the other a more difficult climbing route.
Each position has a stated number of climbers that can stop there meaning that it is possible to block the path upwards or downwards of opposing players.

This gives players two challenges based on historical climbs of Broad Peak (formerly known as K3) by Polish mountaineers.
