TETHER TRAVERSE

Tether Traverse instructions panel Tether Traverse gameplay screenshot

Tether Traverse is a 2D mountaineering platformer that takes you up Mount Rainer via the Disappointment Cleaver route. Work as a roped team: learn the route and glacier hazards, collect gear and manage fuel to reach the summit. Inspired by my own climb of Mount Rainier in June 2025 and built from scratch with Three.js, JavaScript, WebGL, HTML, and CSS, it blends rope physics, and lightweight HUD overlays to teach about the climb while you play. Game still in development.
