To elevator climb in Gorilla Tag, keep one hand on or near the wall, swing it in a controlled circle, and use that motion to pull yourself upward while keeping your head clear of the wall. The basic idea is to “catch” the wall with your arm movement, then repeat the circle rhythm to gain height.

Basic Steps

  1. Face the wall or surface you want to climb.
  2. Put one arm through or close to the wall area.
  3. Make small-to-medium circular arm motions.
  4. Push slightly forward as you circle upward.
  5. Repeat the motion smoothly instead of spamming it.

Helpful Tips

  • Keep your circles controlled; too small usually loses momentum, and too big can throw you off.
  • Tilt your head a bit if that helps you line up the climb more cleanly.
  • Don’t slam your head into the wall, because that usually breaks the rhythm and slows you down.
  • Once the normal motion feels natural, practice going forward, backward, and changing direction.

Easy Mental Model

Think of it like repeatedly “lifting” yourself with a circular hand motion rather than trying to jump straight up. If you can keep the rhythm steady, you’ll climb much more reliably than if you rush it.

tldr

Use a smooth circular arm motion, keep light forward pressure, and practice the timing until the climb feels consistent.
