Chapter 7: The Summit is the seventh chapter of Celeste. It's the final pre-Epilogue chapter which is a combination of mechanics from other chapters, however with the player's ability to double dash.

Gameplay

Change in Dashing

After Chapter 6, Madeline and Badeline combine powers, giving them a second dash in-air. Previously, the player had to land on the ground before dashing a second time, but now, the player can dash twice before needing to land and recharge. This also changes Madeline's hair color, now going from pink to red to blue.

Objects

The first sub-chapter contains six objects: Crystals, Diamonds, Springs, Smashable Walls, Spikes, and Purple Orbs. This sub-chapter closely resembles Chapter 6: Reflection.

The second sub-chapter, 500 M, contains eight objects: Spikes, Conveyor-Belt Platforms, Diamonds, Skull Binoculars, Springs, Shields, Shield-Activated Platforms, and Falling Platforms. This sub-chapter closely resembles Chapter 1: Forsaken City.

The third sub-chapter, 1000 M, contains ten objects: Star Blocks, Spikes, Springs, Shields, Shield-Activated Platforms, Skull Binoculars, Diamonds, Disappearing Platforms, Purple Orbs, and Smashable Walls. This sub-chapter closely resembles Chapter 2: Old Site.

The fourth sub-chapter, 1500 M, contains thirteen objects: Moving Sludge, Sludge, Diamonds, Sinking Platforms, Sludge-Spawning Tiles, Shields, Shield-Activated Platforms, Disappearing Platforms, Water, Springs, Smashable Walls, Spikes, and Purple Orbs. This sub-chapter closely resembles Chapter 3: Celestial Resort.

The fifth sub-chapter, 2000 M, contains sixteen objects: Crystals, Green Bubbles, Crystal Spikes, Springs, Triggered Platforms, Pink Clouds, White Clouds, Moving Platforms, Wind, Snowballs, Falling Platforms, Guided Platforms, Disappearing Platforms, Diamonds, Smashable Walls, and Purple Orbs. This sub-chapter closely resembles Chapter 4: Golden Ridge.

The sixth sub-chapter, 2500 M, contains seven objects: Red Bubbles, Swap Blocks, Springs, Keys, Locks, Temple Gates, and Purple Orbs. This sub-chapter closely resembles Chapter 5: Mirror Temple.

The seventh sub-chapter, 3000 M, contains fourteen objects: Checkpoints, Diamonds, Crystals, Purple Orbs, Wind, Spikes, Disappearing Platforms, Springs, White Clouds, Shields, Shield-Activated Platforms, Pink Clouds, Feathers, and Skull Binoculars.

Alternate Sides

The B-Side is very similar to the original level, however at the last stretch it introduces the player to a new mechanic - Wallbounces. It's by far the longest B-Side in the game and arguably one of the hardest.

The C-Side requires the player to do consistent Wallbounces off of huge walls under wind physics, allowing them to do tall jumps. The last section is also very timing based and is considered one of the hardest sections in the game.

Plot

After her drop into the cavern, Madeline and Badeline begin ascending up the mountain once more. They go through miniature versions of each previous chapter, encountering many of the same obstacles found in those levels. However, the final portion is different from each sub-chapter previous.
