While Björn's chairlifts are not a part of the main path in Razor Ridge, they do connect to a cliff in the northwest section of the area, where a [[Banana Bird Cave]] lies. Unfortunately, Björn's chairlifts are broken, and he is unable to fix them, for he lost his [[No. 6 Wrench]]. If [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] do some searching, they will learn that the No. 6 Wrench found its way into [[Barter]]'s hands. If the [[Kong]]s manage to haggle the wrench away from Barter, they can give it to Björn, who can then use it to repair his chairlifts, giving the Kongs free access to the Banana Bird Cave.
