Strong handshake that’s for sure.

Never saw anything like that before. I‘ll feel a bit overdressed tomorrow having watched that.

The video says Hoyos de pinares, which is just west of Madrid. I wonder how they get back down?

Gravity mate, it's never left anyone up there yet.

That's completely awesome! Actually would be feasible to incorporate that into modern climbing, just as an aid, if course. Chimney rods, or something like that. Beats trying to advance by throwing a rope coil. Of course, that would mean climbing higher than the TIP... if there was some kind of modular pole system that you could also tie into, like a pair of sliding sleeves with eyes that would ratchet up the pole. With modern materials should be easy enough to make a product that would do think of the time saving.
