Shannon Falls is the large waterfall south of Squamish Chief; there are several rockclimbing routes adjacent to the falls. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bodies-of-3-hikers-recovered-from-b-c-s-shannon-falls-1.4733163

So this was one of the guys who got caught going off the boardwalks in Yellowstone to film his social media content a while back. Something tells me he didn't quite learn from that experience what he maybe should have.

Those unaware of the issue with their national park tour in 2016 should really look into it. They did not simply use a drone somewhere they shouldn't have, they walked all over Grand Prismatic like it was a city park, stepping up to the edge and causing damage that will take decades to repair itself. They undertook similarly misguided actions at a NP down south too and were caught and prosecuted due to their actions. We actually kicked their behinds out of the country for repeatedly, joyously, and publicly disrespecting our federally protected lands and resources. They traded in the currency of leveraging privilege into popularity and monetary gain (they sold merch) all the while exploiting natural spaces to the detriment of others. There are those on this forum who feel the worthless arsonists that burned down the Gorge last year should be given a light sentence because kids will be kids. The Sundayz Fundayz group were adults, knew what they were doing, and felt entitled to do so without reflection on how their actions would impact others. They were unremorseful and deflected responsibility by trying to victim blame the actual hot spring. "It was so beautiful, we simply had to" is a defense I bet A LOT of judges have heard over the years, just typically not about inanimate landscape features. These were not enlightened vloggers spreading the good word of living life to the fullest. They were con artists, users, and abusers who were proud of their body of work. We gave them a slap on the wrist - nature gave them what they deserved.

Exit For what we owe to other days, Before we poisoned him with praise, May we who shrank to find him weak Remember that he cannot speak. For envy that we may recall, And for our faith before the fall, May we who are alive be slow To tell what we shall never know. For penance he would not confess, And for the fateful emptiness Of early triumph undermined, May we now venture to be kind. - Edwin Arlington Robinson ==

Personally, I'll save my sympathy and empathy for those who deserve it - the rescuers.
