Variance de la recherche en profondeur, améliorée par une heuristique d'orientation vers les successeurs les plus prometteurs. Pour chaque nœud candidat, l'heuristique mesure la distance à parcourir.

La stratégie d'escalade [...] combine la recherche en profondeur d'abord et une heuristique d'orientation. Le terme escalade souligne l'analogie avec un alpiniste qui cherche à atteindre le sommet de la montagne. Cette méthode peut conduire à une solution non optimale dans le cas où elle trouve un maximum local. Elle a donc tendance à confondre colline et montagne. 3, record 3, French, - escalade
