Safe from predators! Only watched about 15 sec of footage, as I endured an ad at the start and after about 15 sec of the clip another 30 second ad intruded. The ad intrusion on this and the likes of You Tube is getting ridiculous!

I suspect the angle of the camera is playing a big role in how steep the rock looks. If you look at the trees, they are not growing up but rather at at angle. It also looks to be sedentary rock, but the sedentary lines are vertical. I suspect they aren't completely horizontal as the sky would then be at the side, but I suspect the incline isn't straight up as the video seems to incorrectly depict.

Yeah - camera angle is tilted - appears to be about 30° clockwise. The slope isn't nearly as steep as presented.
