If you have Amazon Prime, I recommend Shivaay. OK, recommend may be the wrong term to use here, but the opening scene alone was enough to hook me.

I really don't think enough of you appreciate how deliciously bad Take It To The Limit is. It is worth the $20 bucks to get your hands on a DVD. It would be worth five times that.
To start, Leo Fitzpatrick's previous work was in the movie "Kids" where he gives everyone AIDS. So if you've seen that movie, it's hard to remove that from your mind as you watch him continue to play a teen, despite the fact that he's in his twenties and looks it in this movie.
The DVD cover lists it as winning an award at the American Wilderness Film Festival. This film festival and this award do not appear to exist or have ever existed. I've done more googling about it than I'd care to admit.
The actor who plays the uncle he goes to stay with must have worked in porn previously because he speaks to everyone like he's about to take them to pound-town.
It appears most of the budget was spent on the soundtrack.
The movie is so goddamn quotable. There are so many gems that once you and your partner have seen this movie you'll be incomprehensible to anybody else at the crag, as you will be speaking exclusively in sound bites from this movie.
The climax of the movie is a 5.6 speed toproping competition, where a snake bites someone by jumping out of the crack. For real.
THEY MAKE RAPPELLING LOOK SO FUGGIN COOL.
I cannot stress enough how excellent this movie is. It's a goddamn gem of a film and deserves a much higher status in the echelons of cult climbing films.

I really am dying to see this. I did consider buying it, but unfortunately don't have any way to play a DVD. The search continues....

I know someone said Gripped: Climbing the Killer Pillar was garbage. I disagree, you have shoe changes mid pitch, TBIs, perfect crack climbing from a brand new climber..... It is so bad it's good. 17 pitches of pure awesomeness with realistic couples scenes.... 10/10 I will pay for the sequel too. Climb or die rose, climb or die. If you don't watch this atrocity you will never comprehend the full awesomeness of these memes.
Don't you mean 1 pitch of pure awesomeness, shown 17 times?

You didn't even mention the bear or the water tower.
Yes, the actors are less believable as teens than balding Luke Perry during 90210.
We are introduced to this movie with rappelling hijinks and informed that "climbing isn't allowed in this town".
After that, we learn that literally everyone in town climbs.
I have "Take it to the Limit" saved on a drive somewhere. I don't really know how to get it to you. Does google drive allow entire movies?
10 or more years ago, we had a gathering with two legit climbing adventure slideshows, followed by The Limit.
You really need to see it on a projection screen with a dozen or more buddies, all drinking.
If you have enough space on Google Drive then you can upload a movie but it might take a bit. You could try Dropbox too but that gives you less space for free. If you end up doing it let me know!
