Basically he is setting his own gear into the wall as safety. What he is placing into the crack is called a nut, and is designed to slot into a crack that narrows downwards / outwards. Once the nut is in place, you yank it downwards to simulate a fall, and if it holds fast, you attach an alpine draw (two carabiners with sling in-between). Then, you thread your rope through the other side of the draw. Without seeing the crack closer up it’s kinda hard to tell if this is a good placement or not, as the nut could be in danger of slipping farther back into the crack, and then downwards and out. That’s a very barebones explanation from someone with only a bit of experience.

@@bradleycarter694 Exactly! For this type of climbing (Looks like trad multipitch*) the leader climbs and places gear while the follower belays (rope safety) from below. The leader then sets an anchor higher up on the wall, and belays from the top while the follower climbs and cleans (collects the gear). Once the follower gets to the leader, rinse and repeat. The faster, more dangerous way to climb large walls is called simul-climbing, where the leader and follower climb the wall at the same time, setting and cleaning simultanously. This is very dangerous, as the rope length between the two climbers varies as they climb (longer falls), the gear experiences higher shockloads during falls (potential failure), and one person falling pulls the other person off as well. *Multipitch is a climb that is more than one ropelength.

@@hankzikakis4624 Also worth mentioning that when placed correctly the small micronuts are more than capable of taking his weight when pulling / sitting on it. Taking a fall is another matter. Micronuts are around 8kn and the smallest size are rated at 4kn, a lead fall could be as much as 5kn however often lower so you generally want to avoid a fall on the smallest ones. Not sure what size he is using there.
