Brace yourselves, Cliffhanger 2 is on the way...

As if the Olympics and "Free Solo" hadn't done enough damage already, here we go again.

I hope they'll at least have 21st century updated bolt cannons 

Oh my lord, I can't wait - Cliffhanger is my 2nd favorite bad climbing movie. 

OH COME NOW........ K2 is #2!!!!

If they really wanted to honor the original they should have the plot set in the Dolomites but film it in the Rockies.

Exactly what "damage" have they caused?

There's not enough chalk in the world to overcome how oily Pierce Brosnan is.

Maybe in keeping with the times, Cliffhanger 2 will feature comp-style bouldering.

 Just imagine the scene ... with the fate of the free world in the balance, a set-screw in one of the surfboard-sized volumes suddenly fails under load, causing the volume to shift by two centimeters. Lily James, thrown off-balance while attempting a kickflip mctwist, plummets to her doom twelve inches below.

And then in the style of Rocko's inspirational monologue at the end of different sequel, the two Erics can upbraid the audience about how the true spirit of TRADitional climbing is to die with five pounds of undigested bioavailable protein in your colon.

I'd pay $8.50 for that at a matinee.

Check please.

GoPro free soloists. Speed climbing.Your formally quiet local crag suddenly gang banged by waves of salivating influencer gumbies. Need I say more?
