Ummm, ya, sure, whatever you want to believe. The title belies your words.
Adventure; An unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity:
-Oxford Dictionary
Adventure is a word that is now used to describe a trip to the mall, it has been misused out of all context by the media and writers for some time leaving it a hollowed out shell of a word. Yes it is overused.
Difficult Road - Many perfectly fine roads are described by many travel publications as "Difficult" or "Dangerous" or not safe for one reason or another. This gets repeated ad-nausuem by so many. It's like an almost automatic response just to cover ones backside, so it's often slipped in as a conversational Post Script. The road version of "Do Not Try This at Home"
This is what I was alluding to in the title. I feel that the constant drumbeat of fear mongering in language puts people off going places that are perfectly fine.
Apparently my attempt to get your attention with the title worked but it's meaning and larger context in conjunction with the video was lost on you.
