Any rock climbers?
I'm watching a national geographic rerun of some guy climbing a rock face in Yosemite. He's free climbing and yet there are support ropes hanging down from above him. How the hell did those ropes get there?

@Lowkey Alex Honnold sounds right. He went to Banff for the film festival second year he was featured in it. Believe north face sponsored him and the event

Whatever the ropes were for, presumably the top of the face is easily accessible from elsewhere.
So the lines can be installed, and later detached and removed, by climbers or industrial rope-access technicians abseiling from the top.

That cliff face is accessable from the other side.

I'm surmising previous climbers
@Gibbon Free climbing doesn't use safety or support ropes, they just climb.
