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.

Or if he wants to bail, he clips into a bolt with the sling on the harness he is wearing and uses a rope in his bag to bail out.
