This is the brinco canario or shepherd's leap. It is a traditional activity of the Canary Islands that involves the use of a long wooden stick with a pointed end, known as a "garote" or "lanza", which the shepherds use to navigate steep and rugged terrain. The use of this practical technique allows the shepherds to jump over large gaps, descend steep slopes and move quickly along difficult paths.
