      Isn’t this acceptable though due to the subject of both “clauses” being the same (“tourist” both climbs and breaks)?

          It costs horizontal space, and my understanding is that newspaper headlines tend to minimize words as much as possible (while maintaining meaning).

      I’m almost certain this would not be a correct usage of a semicolon, semicolons require both parts of the sentence to be compete.
