—”Icy ladder v. icy repel rope.”

Most ropes used today are Everdry or similar.

Yes, some call them never dry. nothing perfect.

And more likely they lowered them off than letting them rap down?

I believe you're right. If you take a close look at the photo, there is no rope below the person while there is an apparatus above the door that likely assists in controlling the rate of descent.

Yes, they lower them. They are not rappelling.
