[h2]Summit Stamp Achievements[/h2]
[list]
[*] You can now acquire stamps for completing Alpine summits. Each successful summit will award a stamp for completion. A total of [b]23 stamps can be collected[/b], corresponding to the number of DLC maps.
[*] These work like regular achievements as well as in-game viewable stamps in your Alpinist's Cabin. They will pop into view once you acquire them.
[*] If you have already completed a map, you will automatically have the respective stamp.
[/list]
[h2]Sleeve Pins[/h2]
[list]
[*] New cosmetic sleeve pins have been added. They can be collected by completing [b]new challenges[/b] found in the Great Alps. Be sure to check your Map for new collectibles.
[*] There are a total of [b]11 new cosmetic sleeve pins to unlock[/b]. Once you acquire one, you can display it on your sleeve(s).
[*] Accomplished mountaineers, and those of keen sight, will be awarded with pins to adorn your tweeds.
[*] Once a pin has been awarded, you can find them on your Collected Pins board in the Alpinist's Cabin. Here you can [b]adorn them on your sleeves with Left Trigger / Left Click, or view them up with Right Trigger / Right Click[/b].
[*] These [b]pins will be unlocked permanently[/b], unless you delete the save file and remove their unlocks using the option found in Main Menu > Options > Misc Options > Delete Great Alps Unlocks.
[/list]
[h2]Flora and Fauna[/h2]
[list]
[*] During your adventure throughout the Great Alps, you can now find elusive collectible [b]Alpine flowers[/b], soaring [b]Great Eagles[/b], and elusive [b]Ghostly Goats[/b] appearing through the night.
[*] Use your acquired mountaineering expertise to find and grab these elusive flowers, as they tend to grow in treacherous locations.
[*] A keen eye is needed to spot both Great Eagles and Ghostly Goats. These will not appear on your map, so be sure to be on the lookout during your climbs.
[/list]
[h2]Monument of Sundown & Monument of Cruelty[/h2]
[list]
[*] Monument of Sundown & Monument of Cruelty will now unlock permanently [b]after collecting their respective idols[/b]. [u]These monuments are found on specific peaks listed below[/u].
Permanently unlocking these means that [b]they will also appear in new save files in You Fall You Die and Free Solo[/b] if you have unlocked their respective idols at least once.
[*] As they are used as part of new challenges, they will appear on the following maps:
[*] [b]Greenhorn's Top, Towering Vísir, Eldris Wall, Mount Mhòrgorm, and Solemn Tempest[/b].
[*] These monuments will automatically be unlocked if you have collected both the Idol of Sundown and Idol of Cruelty.
[*][b]Note[/b]: Monuments on Greenhorn's Top are not used for any challenges and are simply in case of self-imposed challenges in Normal Mode, You Fall You Die, and Free Solo.
[/list]
[h3]Option to Delete new Alpine Unlocks: "Delete Great Alps Unlocks"[/h3]
[list]
[*] Found in Main Menu > Options > Misc Options > Delete Great Alps Unlocks.

[h3]Updates[/h3]
[list]
