It sounds like the whole point of the exercise was to use drones to film humans ascending the spire (using means not conducive to preservation of the rock). Since the vantage point of the cameras would be tens of metres in thin air, drones would be necessary.
I think this film used drones to supplement camera operators on the ground and on adjacent cliffs.

A full “trad rack” of traditional climbing gear would have cost them a lot less.They work by inserting cams into the tiniest cracks or features of the rock. The cams expand to grip the rock and when you are done, rappelling down, the cams can be removed.
