I finally watched "Cliffhanger" from the beginning to the end. Over the years I would only watch parts of it because I always felt that the movie was bad.
Its biggest flaw is the villains who are so "evil" that they pretty much kill themselves, or, in order words, Stallone's hero-character is so lame that they just had to do it for him. Indeed, as if Stallone is trying to play a different character who is not weapon savvy (like Rambo) and doesn't know how to punch (like Rocky), and you even get to see Stallone at the other side of the "Rambo" knife.
So maybe it would have been best if Stallone just made the movie about mountaineering (like that Spencer Tracy movie when he is a mountaineer) and ditched the crime part altogether because the vistas and sets are the most interesting part of the movie.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
