Climb Ev'ry Mountain

Climb Ev'ry Mountain is a side quest in Fallout: New Vegas.

Synopsis
Starting six months ago, someone has been stealing supplies and killing anyone, refugee or soldier, in the Bitter Springs refugee camp. The camp was already in bad shape, but this is only making things worse. Captain Gilles figures that the culprit must be operating from somewhere in the nearby mountains, however, Captain Gilles currently lacks the manpower necessary to perform a proper manhunt. She is desperate at this point and asks the Courier for any help they can provide.

Behind the scenes

Bugs

 * Even if you've been to the cave on top of the mountain and completed the quest, you'll get the reward, but the quest will still be active in your Pip-Boy as if you haven't completed it. Completing the quest No, Not Much should open up the Captain Giles dialogue tree about Oscar, even if you previously spoke to her and the option to tell her about Oscar was not available.
