Not for people who do real climbing. It's a comedy, while at the same time a tragedy and travesty. I don't mean just "tragedy" in the sense of the people who die and suffer serious injury (temporary and, in the case of losing fingers, toes, and limbs), but a tragedy in the sense of the ghoulish obsession of watching people suffer (like the people who focus on grisly car accidents or go to "sporting" events to thrill at death and serious injuries.

Come on Bill, lets face it. Death, sex and adventures sells. Not just on T.V. but even our clothing, food, toys etc. It is hard to even watch a "family show" at 8 PM (prime time TV) without hearing or seeing sexual overtones and innueendos.

I am sure that the shows producers are real sorry to offend the "real climbers" chivarlry.
