The Long Dark - How to get down the Ravine without a rope

For anyone looking for a way down the Ravine WITHOUT a rope, yes, there is and it still works in 2024 (on my version anyway, I have the latest non-DLC version).
WARNING!! : There are kill zones down this slope, so you MUST START AS HIGH AS YOU CAN and cling to the walls, all the way until you see that snow slope then you can go down. Make sure to practice this on another run first not your main run as you can easily hit the kill zones if you don't stay high enough.

And now you’re stuck down there lol

You're right in the sense that you can't go back up the cliff if you haven't put the rope there first (I always putthe rope there first to allow a return if you want to) but the real benefit of this route is for a playing heading to Bleak Inlet and wanting to take more than the carry limit down with them. I've been in that situation before and found it handy to take extra to take out those timber wolves.I also used it when playing Escape the Darkwalker as always a shortcut route down to Bleak Inlet.

@@welsh_gamer I usually put a snow shelter at the climbing rope above. Go down and drop gear the. Back up, rest and once I have better fatigue lvls go back down and head to bleak inlet. If you don’t have the rope don’t you have to go all the way around to forlorn muskeg back into mystery lake?
