When I saw your post my eyes opened wide. I LOVE IT!! Now to try to implement it during the kernal of Climber :)

I'm the HMOVE lines for Climber too. I just placed this routine as a test during VBLANK to position the main player and it works great. There does seem to be a little wall on the left where the player seems to bounce off before continuing left but I'm sure that could be adjusted.

Hey, I'm using the old Air-Sea Battle positioning routine (don't look). I figured if it worked why fix it. That is until later when you need the ROM space :)
Thanks Manuel, I'll play around with this and see what I get.
