@taylorlayton45085 жыл бұрын
Whether we develop more rock crags, leave trash on even remoter alpine climbs, or go Sawanobori, climbers will continue to have an ever-increasing ecological impact... Moreover, I'm not sure that this actually has that big of an impact - they are walking on the bottom of rivers that are major zones for natural erosion, decay, and regrowth. Even vegetation they garden would probably have gotten ripped out in a major flood and regrown at least a couple times a century with or without humans. Just my two cents. Edit: Other than pin scars and some vegetation, doesn't seem to be that high impact. A little more gardening than I would like, but that would A) either get cleaned up over time as routes gain popularity or B) never get cleaned up because it regrows so quickly, proving my point about how river basins are not high impact zones. Honestly, seems less impact than dry desert canyoneering, where it just takes a few bozos to erode something semi-permanent, pee under an overhand that never gets rain, or leave a footstep in some crypto that may last a century.

@brianbethea30695 жыл бұрын
The video shows about 1 square foot of moss being removed. I'd imagine they removed 5 square feet or less of moss over the whole trip, considering the largest face had no moss on it. Five square feet of moss is what you're criticizing, sitting here on your computer, using electricity gathered from fossil fuels, mined from the ground using invasive and damaging methods, sitting in your house made of wood that was clear-cut from some forest, built on land that used to be home to thousands of animals living in that forest... But 5 square feet of moss, that's the place to take the battle. It's much better to stay inside all day and avoid ever going out in nature, you never know when you might damage a plant that'll grow back pretty quickly and would likely get torn off in a flood anyways.

Hey Cris, Nobody fell on gear during the trip, as like you rightly noticed, it wasn't very reliable. There are few placements in general because the rock is so smooth from the flow of water, and the larger placements that do exist are often behind loose flakes and boulders just waiting to come off! We did fall off on some of the smaller, river boulders, and that was mostly pretty good... as long as you were cautious with hidden rocks under the water.

Why do you need to continue typing this on a device that uses energy produced via fossil fuels that produce greenhouse gases, which are gathered via invasive and incredibly damaging methods? Humans having fun is invariably damaging to the environment. Everything you do for entertainment has a cost for the environment. It's just usually invisible. But it's most likely just as damaging if not more damaging to the environment than what these climbers are doing. If we avoided doing anything for fun that would cause this much damage to the environment, we really wouldn't be doing anything at all. I really like what another guy said: "you obviously have never been outside and know nothing about nature then... the amount of environmental "damage" caused by one landslide or volcano far outweighs any impact climbers have had on the natural world. we are nature, we are part of this world, just like every other animal, if the earth was so fragile that it would be disrupted by the scraping off moss off a rock it would have never been what it is today."

The alternative is to never leave our cities. The idea that we can go into nature and not damage it is a naive one. It's pretty incredible how much erosion even just hiking causes." There are battles that are so, so much more important to pick than this one. Expend this energy on something that actually matters.

Climbing, canyoning are two wonderful sports that I love to do. I even respect these guys and The North Face. However, this is the most ridiculous stupidity to climb on such a beautiful, wet, loose wall, that is covered with magnificent flora and dedicated for the Gods. Tearing that vegetation from these sacred places just to climb that loose sh*ty rockface is selfish, and unrespectful destruction. These walls could be enjoyed also by rappeling without the destruction. These climber guys, sponsored by such respected brands should present something more valuable and less criticizable. It is a shame that Yuji guided such a pointless trip. I am really sad to see this and to be forced to write these critics. You managed to desecrate and defile this "spectacular Japanese wilderness". And why? Just because you could. This film is a good presentation of why some say that climbers are "conquistadors of the useless". It is a pity that mother nature did not win even though it did "all she can to push them back". Message to the climbers: If this is "exploration" for you, please STOP EXPLORING. I really hope that nobody will follow this pointless and disrespectful path.

This is so comparatively miniscule in its impact compared to so many common things that everybody does for fun that it's absolutely hypocritical to criticize this. You're using electricity most likely created through the use of harmful fossil fuels, mined by invasive and damaging gathering methods just to watch KZbin and type out this comment. That's just as bad, really. There are better and more important battles to pick than this.

No. Nobody needs to do any sport climbing, but it's done anyways. River basins are very low-impact in terms of what damage can be done; the constant erosion and flooding does exactly the same thing these guys are doing fairly regularly by tearing out vegetation during floods. Besides, humans having fun can be so, so, SO much more damaging than this, which is honestly doing barely anything in an area in which the vegetation will regrow incredibly quickly. Better to support something like this than to support bulldozing a hiking trail through the forest so that people don't have to worry about the ecological dangers of pulling off a bit of moss here and there to get up close to the falls.
