How do you climb cliffs in Animal Crossing?
To climb cliffs in Animal Crossing, you gotta get yourself a ladder! You can craft one after you receive the DIY recipe from Tom Nook. This happens after you've helped him with a bit of island development - like inviting new villagers to your island. Once you have the ladder, just walk up to a cliff, and voila, you can climb up or down to your heart's content!

Pro tip: Don't rush to climb every cliff on day 1. Enjoy the journey! The ladder comes naturally as you progress. It's a game-changer for exploring your island, but part of the fun is seeing how your access expands over time.
Just get a ladder, lol. You can't miss it; the game pretty much hands it to you after you play for a bit.
Honestly, you don't need to climb cliffs to enjoy the game. Focus on what's available, and you'll get to cliff-climbing eventually when the game decides you're ready.
