Sounds like he thinks the height pushes it over the cusp. Hard V15 for physicality with a bit of spice and stress to push it over. Looks amazing.

I'll continue playing Devil's advocate.

The (Hueco) scale is similar to many other systems in that it does not take danger or fear into account. Problems are rated based solely on the physical challenge involved. This implies that problems have the same grade on the V-scale on toprope as they would have when bouldered.

Clearly nonsense How would you know how it would feel on a toprope (disregarding the added complications of having a rope in the way wen climbing...) without having toproped something?

Almost as nonsense as downgrading things by some form of  Jacques-Derrida-channeling deconstruction of a blogpost.

Furthermore, from that blog post, it seems he was lapping the v13 + v14 bit over and over again?
Apart from the last dyno to the "lip" which is the crux of the V14, and V12 as a move in it's own right.

I like the fact that the (probable) hardest bit of climbing on the planet goes straight up the middle of a fuck-off massive cartoon boulder in a stunning location via a particularly wild move right on the lip. Everything is as it should be.

Definitely an improvement on when it was a grotty looking traverse acroos the bottom of Adam Ondra's local training crag

Definitely.  A 14-15 move stamina fest, with a 30 foot 5.9 slab :)

Where's my 2 move v15?

Although one minute we're talking about this stunning cartoon boulder and the next minute we're talking about a disgusting grovel that's pretty much bad beta for a ned's toilet spot....

The hardest moves are a sit-start in the gutter.
