I can grant you that the technical skill and all around.... I dunno what a good word is... lack of the paralyzing fear that I'd feel in a similar situation: that's _amazing_.
However, the fact that it was done quickly makes a lot of sense if you think about how much goes into doing stuff like that safely. A lot of things that might take a long time take less time if you have the technical ability to pull them off with a lot of safeguards removed.
Moving is much, much faster when you can get rid of a partner, not drag a rope or set pro, and especially not have to carry equipment for spending a night on the rock.
I don't know if these safeguards would be good for most people to remove, but it is a neat case where there is a massive gain by changing the system.
