Hi Blink,
Thanks for your reply. Saddly, never been to the east coast.
I have had a look at the action of 'climbing' in AUM63 and runing it, and it does not do what I want - so, I have had a go at doing my own code, and it works! The player goes up the ladder a step at a time - now I have to get him to step off onto the ice ledge! (took a lot longer than I will admit to!)
Thanks again for putting me onto the right trail, so to speak.
If you are interested, I could send you a copy of the complete code when finished. David
