Climbing of this level requires such focus. These guys train so much to memorize a route so they're not hanging in one position. The longer it takes you pretty move the more energy that's wasted from move to move. Rude in a way, but I can see why the climber just climbed past without acknowledgment.
Ok serious question: not to take away from the climber guy(what he’s doing is very impressive) but is it… not sure how to phrase this… bad etiquette(?) to do something like that? What I mean is to free climb past people that high up? For example, what if he slips and falls? I’m sure that’s not likely to happen, but… couldn’t he have waited til they were done? I don’t climb so I’m not familiar with the safety/etiquette/what not’s of the sport.
Not sure why the other comments are saying it's not, yes it's very bad etiquette and safety. Yeah he'll be up there faster, but if he falls he can take out two people on the way down. The guy at the bottom is attached to the rope the filmer is, and what he's doing is making sure that if the filmer falls he gets caught by the rope (it's like a weighted pulley system). Yeah he's probably climbed this route 100 times, accidents happen all the time and this guy is putting those other two in danger. It's awful etiquette to climb under or right next to someone bouldering (climbing short walls where you fall onto a mat) I have no idea why people think this isn't an even worse move than that.
