Climbing videos are more akin to porn than say watching a football game or any professional televised sporting event, wouldn't you agree? A climbing vid will provide quick, self gratification, a moments pleasure, typically a woah, that climb looks sweet or a one day i'd like to climb that. But then take a moment and look at the resources that are exploited in the video, in just a few years time (say ten years) they bare little resemblance of what they once where. My problems with videos like this and others like it is; it's like watching a porn and all of a sudden there's your sister smack dab in the middle of the action. So you speak out and say something like (but probably not as calm and collected as) "Like hey I don't think you should film videos of you and your friends friends fucking my sister" and the community say (in many more words than this) "but dude your sister is hot". Also my humble opinion; Videos like this and the STUPID FUCKING JUG HANDLE ARCH VIDEO are like seeing something you care about, something irreplaceable being solicited for a few quick fleeting dollar bills.

So we pretty much agree 100% regarding climbing vids then.
Sorry, I kind of misread your post, thinking that you meant that Reel Rock was cool, and this rope jumping video was not. But you've made it clear that you don't really support any videos about people destroying the wilderness, and I tend to agree with you.

What kind of destruction of wilderness do you two see in this particular video?
If your sister is over 21 the only thing you can really do is pout and complain on internet about climbing videos....and the fact that she is cooler than you.
