At some point in the game, you will come across walls inside caves that you won’t be able to scale without a specific tool. This tool is none other than the Climbing Axe. With the Climbing Axe, you can scale climbable walls in order to gain access to certain areas that you just won’t be able to access normally.

Apart from a climbing tool, it also doubles as a weapon with its fast swings. However, it deals less damage compared to the plane axe and can’t even be upgraded, making it far less efficient as a weapon than a tool. You can use it to chop cannibal corpses, but it won’t be able to chop down trees.

If you want to get the Climbing Axe, then this guide is for you.

How to Find the Climbing Axe in The Forest

To find the Climbing Axe, you’ll want to head over to the Ledge Cave (Cave 9) which is found northeast of the sinkhole. The entrance is just a hole in the ground located right next to a tent.

Climb down the rope and follow the left pathway until you reach the ground surface. This will involve a lot of crouching down. Keep going left while hugging the left wall, and make sure to ready your weapon as there are a few cannibals nearby.

Once you’ve dealt with the cannibals, keep going until you hear the sound of a waterfall. Go straight and down the rocks until you come across a wall that’s been lit up. You can see the Climbing Axe stuck on that very same wall.
