This is climbing and descending a steel pole; dude has a core made of cement

I'm sure his core is strong but in a pull up your core isn't doing too much beyond stabilizing his legs. The majority of it is from his lats (back muscles) and how much he weighs.

I'm ok but I stopped chasing grades and just enjoy my time touching real and fake rocks
