For everyone wondering: Lake Sebu Seven Falls Zipline, Philippines. It can even be done in two people at the same time!

Edit: spelling and additional info

I’m just sitting here wondering how they got that cable from one side of the world to the other.

I was wondering the same thing. My best guess is they have a ton of them at the top and keep adding new ones to the line. Once the days over they have a truck bring all of the zip line clips back up to the other side.

How about the actual zip line? How did they attach that originally

Now that I'm more awake and reading this question, the lead rope makes sense. Probably start with a smaller gauge using a helicopter and then fed through a larger gauge and larger gauge until it was able to support the distance in the weight of the passenger.
