That's ice climbing not waterfall climbing. They do it in Ouray every year.

It is still ridiculous no mater how much they do it. Fun though...

I'll add another vote on curling. That's just hilarious to watch, particularly the sweepers.

As a second choice, I'd pick ping pong. Fine as a game, but once I saw it attained competitive sport status as an Olympic event, I nearly died laughing.

I have a silly sport that makes all those silly sports look half way respectable... extreme ironing.

I'm not sure how well the ironing itself was done, but there are defiantly points awarded for being at terminal velocity while making the attempt.
