600 feet you say? Notice this end is visible on the right and he's only a few feet from it. Probably why he looks big.

I still think he's foolish and stoopid because no one thinks about the forces they're applying to the anchor points. I'd guess his weight and the rope amount to more than two tons of tension.. Two tons of pull at the top of a 450 foot tall moment arm made of dirt and plants. He's really lucky he didn't pull the whole thing down.
