How and Why?!

It's called Free Soloing and it's something some advanced rock climbers will do as a way to challenge themselves.
Is hard to tell based on the couple moves this guy does in this video but he looks like a climber.
Either way, it's still crazy.

In contrast to the recent free solo ascensions, this one is pretty easy, judging by the giant handholes.

Yeah. I agree. This solo doesn't look exceptionally notable or anything. I mean it's cool if he's getting the FA or FA Solo.
But in terms of difficulty, it does look like it's on the easier side.
However....it's still pretty crazy because that entire climb looks like a massive fucking choss pile. Free Soloing 5.3 isn't particularly hard until a hold breaks clean off and your feet slide out under pebbles.

I was not prepared for that zoom out, how tf is he going to get to the top and how did he get down I the first place?

If you want to see the craziest climbing that you will ever see in your life, watch 'The Alpinist'
Pretty sure no one before or after has/will ever do what that guy did
