>Cliffhanger reboot

I wonder what manufacturers’ gear they’ll misrepresent safety-wise this time around?
;-)
... & ‘Tis also a shame it’s not going to be a sequel, rather than a rehash of original storyline.
Still, for lightweight entertainment, it should be good for a chuckle.

I can't believe they are unable to come up with new film idea's and need to rehash something as bad as Cliffhanger!

They should leave it to Bollywood. Bollywood does it best.

John Oliver did a piece about Everest "sumiteers" on his show - YouTube seems to block all attempts to show the whole thing - but here's a snippet. Worth watching if you can get access somehow:

I think it's really a list of the best(?) places to take photos of climbing. Any list that doesn't include Yosemite (or anywhere in Australia) is incomplete at best! And as for how an artificial wall makes the list...

That's my point. How does an artificial wall make it into a list of the best climbing in the world?

Is that a rhetorical question? There is an obvious answer. All media is corporate media, including our Aunty (Rand Corporation etc) , and indoors spending our credits is where they want us.

It seems Jimmy Chin operates on both sides of the camera!

(Nothing I try will allow me to embed the video. I tried the code suggested by Chocky, and the youtube code used in other video posts, but neither will get past the suspicious input test.)
