Go to the Start of the Climb

Approach the ice wall, scan the area and find the climbing path. There will only be a few small handholds on the rock face. Keep climbing up using the handles to reach the top.
Talk to Wekatta
When you reach the top, talk to the man by the campfire.
Find the Tenakth Climbers
Head towards the next indicator. Turn on focus mode every now and then to stay on the right track.
Kill the Machine
Help the Tenakth member and kill the Stalker. This machine is weak to shock, so use the right weapon to quickly knock out your opponent and then deal a critical hit.
Talk to the Tenakth Climber
After eliminating the threat, talk to Rokko.
Climb the Mountain
Walk up to the rock wall and scan your surroundings. Start climbing the yellow lines and make your way to the top.
Scan for Penttoh's Tracks and Follow the Tracks
Turn on focus mode and highlight the tracks you found. Follow the trail until you reach the next rock wall. Scan the area and start climbing the mountain.
Climb the Mountain
When you reach the icicles, Aloy will let you know that you need find an alternate route. Jump backwards, open the shieldwing and fly to the nearby rock shelf. The climbing route will continue near the crate. Jump up and pull yourself up to the handle, then climb to the top of the mountain.
Kill the Machines
When you find another member of the Tenakth tribe, help them fight the machines.
Talk to Penttoh
After winning the fight, talk to Penttoh, Jekkaha's brother.
Climb the Mountain
When the cut-scene ends, start climbing the rock it featured. After reaching its top, walk to the end of the snow path and pull yourself to the handle on the other side.
Once you are on the other side, knock over a tree and slowly climb it. Jump from the tree to the rock and continue climbing to the summit.
Kill the Frostclaw
When you arrive at your destination, you will be attacked by a mini-boss. The Frostclaw is weak to fire and shock damage. Use the Explosive Blastsling and shock weapon bolts to knockout your opponent and deal critical hits.
Follow Penttoh and Talk to Penttoh
After winning the battle, scan the area and start climbing up the final section before the summit. When you reach the peak, talk to Pentohh.
Return to Wekatta
After completing the task, jump down from the summit and open the shieldwing. Fly down all the way to the foot of the mountain and talk to Wekatta.
