📋 About This Mod
Description
By obtaining a specialized climbing equipment, you can allow your character to start scaling up and down flat surfaces. The scaling attempt is checked by your Acrobatics level but trains your Athletics due how the mod operates. The mod allows for non-magical thieves and scum alike to get by without levitation to get over walls, deepening the immersion for roleplayers.
Installation
1. Use a known mod manager like MO2. (Recommended)
2. Simply drop the .esp file within your Data Files
Please consult the original Readme for full details on how to activate the climbing feature as well the section about known quirks/bugs.

Credits
All credits belong GhanBuriGhan who made this mod back in 2004. I couldn't contact him and I feel his work should be shared for all to enjoy, since this opens up a lot of character builds and Nexusmods has become the de facto modding site for TES games including Morrowind.
I've changed the mod name from "Vertical Limit 1" to "Vertical Climbing" so it is apparent what this mod does at first glance.
Vertical Climbing is a gameplay mod that adds climbing and rappelling down flat surfaces, mimicking the Daggerfall Climbing skill. It has 101 endorsements and 9,205 downloads, last updated in June 2020. For players who want to explore vertical spaces in a new way.
