Cairn Patch Notes

Hi Climbers, We're adding features to Cairn's Free DLC On the Trail. The new climbing spots are packed with challenges and surprises, but being much smaller mountains than Kami, we've tweaked the formula to keep the tension in every climb. This means we need a bit more time, and On the Trail won't be ready for August 13th. It's still coming soon, and we will share the release date as soon as we have it. We appreciate your patience climbers, see you on the trail!
