I would imagine that was more to do with the company that owns the building - they probably put that in to the contract.
Still it does rather spoil the effect, I mean it looks like he is a punter hanging on a rope, as opposed to the hard climber we all know he is.
I suppose another possible reason is because of the height of the building - perhaps he felt getting pumped was much more of a possibilty on it?
I suppose only he can tell us why he used a rope. Personally I would go for the company explanation.
