So much trust in that equipment. Mad.
My main fear would be the strength of that yellow cord connecting me to the carabineers. Before I started I would want the equiv of three or four of me hanging off it to test!
And those ladder steps concreted into the rock, fuck trusting that!
That worries me less as if one gives way you are still secured to fall line. But I do hear you.
I might add that even if I won the trip, I doubt I would take it up

It's not the strength that matters as much as the ability to absorb the fall. Hard to see from that vid if those lanyards have any shock absorb system.
