when rock climbing how do climbers get their hook/anchor above them to climb up?

Does the first climber do it bit by bit until those behind have a decent distance to climb? In my head they’re climbing using a rope that’s anchored 20 feet above them. If so, how does it get there?

National Geographic special: The Last Tepui.

Free Solo guy Alex Honnold and Nat Geo climbers climb a rock feature in South America that’s never been climbed by scientists. I think it may have never been climbed by people, but I don’t recall. It’s a nice documentary that cites some of the perils of climbing something for the first time.
