I did read that line and go, "That's on the cinematographer and the editor, you know." But I am a film nerd firstly. *g*

But seriously, it is. I mean, Hikaru no Go, admittedly it is animated but: it's a show about kids who play a board game. And they make it exciting and dramatic and suspenseful and fascinating. It's about playing a board game. If you can make a board game an exciting spectator sport, I mean the most exciting sequences in that show are all games of Go, you ought to be able to make climbing quite exciting with good cinematography and sharp editing. (I've seen climbing videos where... well, you get neither. But that's not the fault of the climbing! Bad camera angles and amateur editing will ruin the excitement and interest in any kind of video except for the people who know exactly what is going on already.)

That said, I think that opening sequence very accurately represents the kind of movie you will be watching; truth in advertising and all. And Tom Cruise is surprisingly bendy! (I can't speak to his technique beyond the obvious ridiculous.)
