This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I understand, hey go climb a big rock. cool.
i don't understand doing it without a basic life line attached to you to ...ya know, prevent .... rapid inertia.
Is the rope hanging off him not a life line?
Honestly, I'm not sure. I actually didn't even notice it until you said something. It blends in very well. Looks like it only goes below him but I don't see an anchor point and you really don't want them too far apart. The more distance between them, then more force it's got to hold if you fall.
I'm not sure what else you'd use a rope for here. Just saying it's also weird to not see an anchor point since it looks looks to be over 10ft of rope we can see.
Either way I still think he's crazy, I couldn't get 10 feet off the ground without having a panic attack.
Multi story buildings must be your kryptonite.
This is a normal human reaction.
But then you do it a few times and you get used to it.
