Updates

An option has been added to pause the game if the application loses focus. On by default.
Added a link to the Official Discord in the Main Menu.
You can now fall to your death on Category 2 boulders in You Fall You Die and Free Solo.
Peakjournals will now open on the last page you were on.
The death scene from You Fall You Die is now skippable.
You can now earn the Golden Smoking Pipe from beating all time records in The Great Gales.
Force Ultrawide in the options has been removed. To use Ultrawide, please refer to this link: How to run Ultrawide

There is now no limit to hand-spam force while you are just hanging on a rope and not climbing.

Crampons Jumps are now properly limited to 2. The third jump has had its force increased a little but third jump and subsequent jumps will still have diminishing effects.
Velocity required to reset Crampon Jumps while on a hold has been lowered (You will not notice this unless you were moving extremely fast already).
Fixed a bug with not being able to use crampons jump on breakable ice stalactites.

Fixed a bug with not being able to use certain items after touching the summit but not setting a score in time attack.
Fixed a bug with being unable to pause while sitting in the bivouac in You Fall You Die and Free Solo mode.
Fixed a bug with being able to move to the Routing Flag while attached to a rope.
Fixed a minor bug with coffee automatically being used when trying to just cancel the 'coffee high' effect.
Fixed some issues with certain sound effects not being affected by the Sound Effects Volume slider.
Other minor bugfixes.

Tools will now unlock without returning to the cabin in You Fall You Die and Free Solo mode.
Time Attack being activated will now persist between levels. Use the Pocket Watch again to deactivate.
Ice Axes latching on will now add to holds count when doing TIme Attack.
You can now rewatch the true ending in the Main Menu Credits after completing the game. It can be skipped to watch the credits.

Fixed a few remaining issues with unlocking Time Attack Achievements prematurely.

Added a tooltip to the peak journal in the Northern Outpost regarding how to access the Great Bulwark.
Fixed a bug with the time attack timer showing up in the Northern Outpost cabin.
Fixed some collision bugs with holds on Intermediate maps.
Fixed a bug with ice axes latching on when you've already switched to hands, causing a floating ice axe.
Fixed a few bugs with co climbing on Walker's Pillar.

Crampons jump count will now also reset if you have enough downwards momentum and are grabbing a hold (separate from the regular velocity limit needed to reset crampons).
Chalk will now reduce the stamina drain on Pitch rocks by 25%.

Fixed a few bugs with the Golden Smoking Pipe.
Fixed a bug with being able to exceed the amount of rope uses in the overall game.
