reclimb

Go up twice

Reclimb means to climb something again, whether a mountain, ladder, staircase, or ranking.

The word emphasizes repetition—returning to ascend something previously climbed, often after descending or falling back.

After slipping near the summit, she had to reclimb the final pitch.

It appears most often in outdoor recreation and gaming contexts where progress must be regained.
