Basic Trope: One character fights a larger one by climbing up them.
- Straight: Bob climbs up a Giant so he can stab him in the eye.
- Exaggerated: The first quarter of the film is spent crawling up the leg of a giant the size of a continent.
- Downplayed: The giant is just a few meters taller than Bob, and Bob climbs on his shoulders to stab him in the eye.
- Justified:
- The giants weak point is his eye, and Bob can only kill him by striking him there.
- The giant cant reach the second upper fifth of his back/spine. making it the ideal spot for a Death of a Thousand Cuts.
- Inverted:
- Bob lets a character crawl up his leg so that he can fight them easier.
- Bob climbs up the Giant so he can save him by warning the Giant he's about to walk off a cliff.
- Subverted: The Giant gets off of the mind control spell and helps Bob in his quest to fight the real Big Bad, a wizard.
- Double Subverted: The Giant falls back into mind control and Bob has to kill him anyway.
- Parodied:
- The Giant is smaller than Bob, but Bob still uses mountain climbing tools in order to get to the "Giant's" eye.
- The Giant is covered in colorful blobs like a rock-climbing gym.
- Zig Zagged: Bob is caught in a world with complicated hyperspace geography: He's technically climbing on his own body to reach his own head and slay the "Giant", but he is unaware of this.
- Averted: All fights are equally matched in size.
- Enforced: "We need to show how brave Bob is"
- Lampshaded: "I'd ask you to shave my armpit but I can barely see your blade! Haha!"
- Invoked: Bob is a blood knight.
- Exploited: The giant encourages would-be hero's climb on him so he can more easily crush them.
- Defied:
- "I am not fighting something that many times bigger than me!"
- The giant has electrified it's skin to prevent attacks from would-be mountain climbers.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Implied: Bob is seen climbing on something that is the same color as human skin. But, we don't know exactly what it is.
- Deconstructed: The Giant sneezes and Bob loses his grip, falling to his death.
- Reconstructed: Bob makes use of his grappling hook and other mountain-climbing aids.
