    Adjust
    Improved swing and rope-climb entry near the ground.
    Source line
    Improved swing and rope-climb entry near the ground:
    • Climbing continues briefly when starting a climb from the ground.
    • Velocity toward the rope is preserved, so jumping from the ground carries into a climb.
    • Attaching to a rope on a steep slope now enters the wall-climb state.
  2. Adjust
    Made it easier to vault onto ledges and roofs when using the Grappling Hook, especially on Pendola Pass. Auto-vault now triggers more reliably at the top of rope climbs, and ending a swing on walkable ground is more consistent.
