Line 25:
After escaping the Celestial Resort, Madeline arrives at a ridge climbing up the side of Celeste Mountain. En route, she ends up finding the [[Bird]], who chirps a single time, and [[Granny]]. Both end up surprised when seeing each other; Granny wasn't expecting Madeline to make it this far, and Madeline thought she was just crazy. Granny then asks Madeline whether she made it out of the hotel and whether she saw [[Mr. Oshiro]] or no; Maddy explains that she was chased out of there. Granny then tells Madeline that Mr. Oshiro is a lost soul. Madeline, however, thinks that the hotel has driven both her and Oshiro crazy. The old woman then comments on how someone else had told them this; this person ''might'' be [[Theo]]. She then continues to talk about how the mountain cannot bring out anything that isn't already within you; in Madeline's case, her insecurities are fully manifesting themselves. After receiving another comment about how crazy she was, Granny tells the mountain climber about a shortcut she knows back to [[Intro car|her car]] if she decides to give up. Madeline then directly walks past her, stating that she's headed for the summit; the old woman then comments that it is tough to tell apart stubbornness and determination ({{c|these two terms are reused as chapter names in [[Farewell]]}}). Before ending the conversation, she tells her to "watch out for the wind."
 
If Madeline continues talking to Granny, she'll ask about whether she gets many visitors; the answer is no. The mountain climber then comments about how she would want to live the same way and how she genuinely wanted to help Mr. Oshiro. Granny then comments again about how there's "no hope" in saving him. Madeline then asks if she is fine living alone in her old cabin; Granny says that she has friends and isn't a hermit. She then comments about how she found the mountain and knew instantly it should be her home because it shows you who you are (reiterating what she previously said).
 
Madeline then continues up the Golden Ridge. The wind becomes increasingly stronger as she makes it upwards until it eventually reaches a point where she can barely move against the [[wind]], and snowballs start bombarding her.

At the end of the chapter, Madeline finds a gondola, but then, [[Theo]] appears, falling from above. He then gets excited from seeing the gondola and suggests taking it to cross a relatively deep valley to [[Mirror Temple|another side]]. WhilstWhile riding the gondola, Theo then asks about how did it gowent with Oshiro; Madeline then tells her the truth, to which Theo replies, "I hate to say this, but...". Madeline interrupts him, knowing that she should've listened. Theo then comments that they have to get a selfie up here. As they take a photo, the gondola stalls out, and [[Badeline]] appears at the top of it. Theo breaks a lever trying to get the gondola working; Madeline then starts panicking, commenting that "this really isn't good". The music, {{soundtrack|num=10|track=Anxiety}}, intensifies. Theo says that she's having a panic attack, to which Madeline angrily asks him why he thought it's a good idea to ride "this stupid thing". Theo calms her down and brings up a technique taught to him by Carlos (his grandfather), [[Feather minigame|imagining a feather floating up and down]]. This helps reduce the panic, and as soon as she's back to a state of relative normalcy, the gondola continues going to its destination. When they arrive, Madeline thanks Theo, who states that he thought that the gondola wouldn't continue, and shows her [[Instapix|the selfie he took]].

=== A-Side ===
The aA-sideSide of goldenGolden ridgeRidge is not a huge difficulty jump from celestialCelestial resortResort, with more open -level design and less focus on story compared to it'sits predecessor. Although quite short, the gimmicks are somewhat unique compared to those of previous chapters. The new mechanics include wind, green bubbles, clouds, and [[Mechanics|autoscroller blocks]].
 
The sub-chapters in goldenGolden ridgeRidge are startStart, shrineShrine, oldOld trailTrail, and cliffCliff faceFace.
