If your family commisioned a painting to remember their beloved Wes...
...would they want a portrait of the groomed and handsome Weston about to deliver his valedictary address...or the dusty, thirst crazed Wes returning from the Savage Mountain by way of the Arabian Desert
I suspect they will opt for the pre-Cure goth child of the 70's.
or the desert wanderer/climber indulging in the sins of the modern day Babylon that is Vegas.
it might be well to remember the tribe of Judah were not related (closely) to the Phillistines and rarely intermarried with the other tribes or Israel or Arabs in the area for hundreds of years.
Yes, Judaism has been xenophobic from the start. Which explains why the vast majority if religious wars have been fought by one, or several, of the nasty flavors it has spawned. It is a shame they didn't listen to Jesus when he tried to set them straight.

What spineless pussies would hide out in the bushes to film a guy who is just out doing what he loves, getting dirty, not hurting anyone? Oh wait it's the same non contributing narg gobblers who will undoubtedly show up after the crag has been developed, the rocks have been scrubbed off, the trails built, the landings fluffed and the guide books written, copied, downloaded as free torrents and distributed to all their clueless, complaining, preachy, fully entitled friends for free. "Gawd, who's the lewsor that built this trail anyway? I can't even fit through here with my Mondo Ego Grande Ass crash pad."

To answer the question below...all the rest of us (except for the camera part). Duh. It's the human condition. Or we can call it "The Little Red Hen" story.
"What spineless pussies would hide out in the bushes to film a guy who is just out doing what he loves, getting dirty, not hurting anyone? Oh wait it's the same non contributing narg gobblers who will undoubtedly show up after the crag has been developed, the rocks have been scrubbed off, the trails built, the landings fluffed and the guide books written, copied, downloaded as free torrents and distributed to all their clueless, complaining, preachy, fully entitled friends for free. "Gawd, who's the lewsor that built this trail anyway? I can't even fit through here with my Mondo Ego Grande Ass crash pad."
The Lil Red Hen story for the uninformed.
"The Little Red Hen is an old folk tale, most likely of Russian origin. The best known version in the United States is that popularized by Little Golden Books, a series of children's books published for the mass market since the 1940s. The story is applied in teaching children the virtues of the work ethic and personal initiative. It is so well known that it is frequently rewritten by pundits and bloggers to illustrate their favorite points."
"Plot summary
In the tale, The Little Red Hen finds a grain of wheat, and asks for help from the other farmyard animals to plant it. But no animal will volunteer to help her.
At each further stage (harvest, threshing, milling the wheat into flour, and baking the flour into bread), the hen again asks for help from the other animals, but again she gets no assistance.
Finally, the hen has completed her task, and asks who will help her eat the bread. This time, all the previous non-participants eagerly volunteer. However, she declines their help, stating that no one aided her in the preparation work, and eats it with her chicks, leaving none for anyone else.
The moral of this story is that those who show no willingness to contribute to an end product do not deserve to enjoy the end product: "if any man will not work, never let him eat."[1]
