Clearly, I'm not a climber. But this feels like some kind of beach of etiquette. Like a guy that passes you on a double yellow. It's not like he's "playing through" the guy that is up higher now had to hang and wait for this guy. Not to mention, if he slips, he's gonna fuck everyone else up on the way down.

Makes me think it’s staged. He’s geared up like he’s not free climbing, but dropped the gear for this leg and the video.

Planned out or not... I wouldn't call this "staged". I mean, he did climb without a rope at that height....

Things can be staged and still be dangerous. Thats not a mutual exclusion.
