I've always envied people who have the guts to do this kind of thing...

That was awesome. Amazing camera work too.

Anyone know what she's carrying on her back (she keeps putting her hands in it..)
Some kind of powder?

Chalk to keep her hands from slipping on the rocks. And to dry up the sweat.

Ah so that's how it's called in English Same thing gymnasts use. Nevertheless, hanging up there would scare the shit outta me.

That type of climbing is as safe as it gets. Beautiful camera work.
There are 1/2" bolts every 6-10' ( or 2 meters ) and the rock is over hanging, so if she falls she will hit nothing but air for the 10-15 feet she will fall until the rope is tight.
It is an extreme difficulty though.

Other the other end, extreme danger.
This is gladiator climber Dean Potter.

I did the route in '96 over five days and nights. We were roped the whole way. He did it solo, mostly ropeless in about four hours. Positively one of the most insane climbers on the planet with arms of steel and large brass balls.
