Controls Reference
This page lists every known input for K2 Climbing Simulator, separated by platform. Use it to find which key or button does what, and when each input is available.
PC Controls (Keyboard + Mouse)
| Input | Action | Available When |
|---|
| CTRL | Switch to climbing camera | Anytime |
| Left CTRL | Toggle Shift Lock Camera (third person) | Anytime |
| F | Interact with objects or get up from prone | Prompt visible on screen |
| Shift | Run / sprint | During normal movement |
| C | Wipe snow or debris from the screen | Screen is obstructed |
| Click on player | Open player info menu and send rope attach request | Another player is on screen and in range |
Shift — Running and Pacing
- Hold Shift to sprint across flat or downhill sections.
- Sprinting drains endurance faster. Use it when you have clear terrain and want to cover ground quickly.
- On steep climbs, sprint has no effect — focus on climbing inputs instead.
C — Wipe Screen
- Press C to clear snow, ice, or debris that obscures your view.
- The screen gets dirty over time during storms or after falls. Wipe regularly to keep your bearing.
- No cooldown is listed, so use it whenever the view is obstructed.
