Also, Ondra repeated the climb, quickly and without too much effort. That should not take away from what Tommy and Kevin did. They found the path, worked it out, and put it together. Ondra is just so much better than any other climber.
SeekingseasonsWorth noting he wasnt able to complete the dyno, does that really make him so much better than Tommy's partner Kevin?

Yes, and Kevin would agree. This was Ondra's first trip to Yosemite, he had not climbed much trad, and he was not used to the unique style of climbing required for Yosemite granite. Ondra is just a beast. This takes nothing away from Tommy's and Kevin's accomplishment. If anything it validates it further, that the best climber in the world still took quit a bit of effort to send.
