Insane, it looks like you need a 100m rope to lower off of that thing.

It does look bloody long, doesn't it? But, part way through the video, isn't there a stored/coiled rope part way up the cliff? Maybe that is for finishing the descent?

Hi, the route have 45 metres aprox, and the rope has 80 m, this is the reason to downclimb to the last bolt. The rope is not enough and also itīs necesary that the person who belay, climb to the firts bolt because the ground is not level. There is a difference in height between the belayer and the climber when he landed.
If anybody wants to climb the route, use a rope more longer than 80m :P but if you have a 80m rope, you donīt have any problem to climb it, because we donīt have it.
regards

I'm not sure he down-climbed to the last bolt, so much as "jumped off" and took the whipper. But same effect. :)
And, it did look like pretty easy going up to the first bolt -- I could see the belayer climbing up that, then down-climbing it.
