Nah, it doesn't have any visual effect inside the dungeon itself. He clicks the intersections to show the notes along the bottom, as >>2725845 said. You might miss them if your browser or plugin has a video control bar blocking it since it's at the very bottom edge of the webm.

If you're lucky and your climbing skill is high enough, you may be able to get around that by trying to catch the wall as you fall, as in pic related. Face exactly in a cardinal direction (test against a safe wall nearby to be sure you're at the right angle) then run as fast as you can and hold the forward key. Once you see "Climbing Mode Activated" let go of it then start holding it again, with the goal of dropping down slightly more each time and taking less fall damage. Repeat until you reach the ground.

Otherwise, activate every single chain, torch, or other doodad you can find near the hole. It's very likely you're missing a temporary levitation or slowfall buff. I've never seen a blind fall without such a buff nearby. Beware that they're only one-time buffs however, so you need to make use of them immediately. Also beware that slowfalling down a hole has at least a 40% chance of clipping you through the wall into the void, so between that and the climbing trick be prepared to savescum a bit.

It is tricky but possible to climb down, actually. It depends a bit on (real life and in-game) luck, your climbing skill, and most importantly your aim. You need perfect aim; you must be parallel to the wall. Run into it at full force and hold on for your life. You can grab walls even if you're falling. Then release the movement key to fall, and press it again to attempt to regain your footing. Continue to throttle the movement key until you have successfully climbed down the wall.

Good luck, and keep on reppin' the stealthyfolk. Nearly any play-style is viable in this game if you're creative. Though you will almost certainly eventually need some Free Action potions for high level monsters; they're not too hard to find anywhere that sells potions.
