Rock climbing is a potentially dangerous sport.
Let's let this "extreme" thing die a natural death.

Took your survey thanks!
offering a constructive opinion, oppositional or no, is never annoying
If you can use an oppositional opinion to help you construct a belief without being annoyed, that's cool. But I think that constructive is more a quality of you and your human belief construction processes than of the opinion, the same as extreme.

All I know is at 76 I have a very long list of dead friends.
Many of those did meet their end in the big mountains or skiing but plenty of them came to grief rock climbing.
Myself, I never do anything extreme.

Going back to the mention of "extreme" skiing,
if you look at what Euro skiers did in the 70s-80s,
little since then has surpassed what guys like Tardivel did back then.
They were already doing this stuff before US ski video makers ever latched on. It's not always fun.
RIP just a few of those departed:
JP Auclair Andreas Fransson Magnus Kastengren Andrea Zambaldi,
Doug Coombs, Alex Lowe David Bridges, Arne Backstrom, John Brenan, Sarah Burke, Fredrik Ericsson, Allison Kreutzen, Kip Garre, Jim Jack, Aaron Karitis, Shane McConkey, Chris Onufer, Jamie Pierre, Steve Romeo, Chris Rudolph, Tony Seibert, Trevor Peterson, ... so many others that most of us don't know.
