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?

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.
