Do not attempt to use any of the techniques used in this episode for climbing.
The belay technique is unsafe (she should be running her the rope through her anchor), MacGyver is off belay and not safe after he completes his climb. His technique is depressingly awful, but it isn't a safety issue.
The climb featured in the shot can be found at the Smoke Bluffs, in Squamish BC.
I have not watched the rest of the episode, so I won't comment on the rest of it, which I am sure will be on par with the rest of the episodes in season 3.

This review is not concerned with the plot or details of this film, rather the aim is to explain why it is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. If you're looking for plot details, skip this review.
I am a fan of films; I've seen the AFI top 100, and the IMDb top 125 to name a few. I've watched numerous forgettable films. As a result of my film watching experience, I've determined some criteria for what makes a film truly awful. I am most displeased to announce this movie meets all criteria with resounding success, and may in fact have displaced Ironheart as the worst movie ever.
1. A terrible film should start off with some promise (to raise your expectations against your will), and then quickly and progressively get worse. This film does this wonderfully. As I recall, the first 2 minutes are the best scenes of the film, and look like the movie will score a solid 4 or 5 out of 10. Shortly thereafter, absolute drivel is introduced, and the plot and script spiral into ineptitude with absolute finesse.
2. All the actors are relatively talentless, and of the same caliber. This is necessary, to avoid an actors performance standing out, as good or bad. A good or bad performance can give the viewer a focus for the intense dislike of the film. I'm proud to say, I can't remember anything of the acting at all, except for the first 2 minutes, in which Santa Claus gives a reasonable mediocre performance from his workshop.
3. Most miserable movies tend to fail by accidentally including some scene that results in laughter. Those that do it too much can become enjoyable cult classics, such as Barbarella, or The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This film sadistically and unfailingly pounds the viewer with scene after scene of insipid drivel.
4. An awful film should have an inconsistent plot for the obvious reason that it makes it difficult to follow what's going on. I think the film had a relatively consistent plot, and stuck to it. However, it succeeded here on a new level beyond my wildest imagining. It's clear from the first moment this film starts that it's intended audience is children, or soon to be dysfunctional families. Typical with such films, there is a moral message, and this movie is no exception. I'm delighted to discover I've managed to burn it out of my brain, but I'm sure it was along the lines of be nice and get along, share stuff and don't kidnap people. The point is, as I'm watching this insipid driveling film, minute after minute, I am forced to think of these young kids watching this film, and unwittingly having their innocent minds twisted by this mess. By sticking to the plot, the makers of this film forced me to continue my nightmare visions of mental torture of children. In this film, sticking to the plot made it worse, and thus a more successfully bad movie.
5. The most important criteria from any film, good or bad, is to elicit an emotional response from the viewer. Boredom doesn't count. What I look for in a miserable film are feelings of anger, sadness, or revenge. As with Ironheart, it was a struggle to continue watching this movie. I was angry with the producers of this film, and everyone else involved in the project, including those responsible for it's digitization, so that it's evil could continue to spread. As with Ironheart, I wanted to destroy this film before it was complete. I was deeply saddened by the loss of 90 minutes of my life spent on this drivel. Finally, I wanted to get revenge on everyone involved in the project by subjecting them to repeated watchings of this movie. What surprised and impressed me most about this film, is that I wanted to destroy it much earlier into the film than I did with Ironheart. I think it was about 45 minutes for this one, and about 60 for Ironheart.
6. It should go without saying, but a terrible movie should have no redeeming features at all. Clearly this movie fails in that regard, since it eventually ends. However, the makers save the best for last; a horrible song, with words that appear on the screen so the kids can sing along. I'll never be able to forget "Hooray for Santy Claus." Yes, Santy Claus. Ugh...
This movie easily scores 0 out of 10, a tie with only one other film - Ironheart. I strongly recommend that no experienced, thinking individual watch it.
