Stormy Ascent is a level that was dummied out of the original Crash Bandicoot. It is not accessible through normal means, but it can be played through Gameshark. Naughty Dog probably removed this level due to its difficulty, as it is essentially a harder version of Slippery Climb.

Trivia

 * This level's name sounds similar to the phrase "store me a scent", a clever historical reference to this stage's super-hidden nature. Nineteenth century French perfume shops often made a notorious habit of storing away their most fabulous scents at the request of special customers, not dissimilar to modern-day real-world layaway, though restricted to people who were special friends of the management. In exactly the same way, Naughty Dog has stored this level away at the request of playtesters who believed this level to be too difficult for general consumption.
 * Despite this level's name, Crash is forced to make a few stormy descents in this level, too, a rare and crushing lapse in continuity.
