Good point! But the folks that practice gnarly 8-foot dynos (http://gfycat.com/HonoredVelvetyEstuarinecrocodile http://gfycat.com/HonoredVelvetyEstuarinecrocodile) and razor-thin crimps don't tend to hang out on big walls, so it'll be a while. Caldwell may've made it look sort of easy, but I think he's still one of the top climbers in the world.

NatGeo has a better article about the climb at http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2015/01/150114-climbing-yosemite-caldwell-jorgeson-capitan/ http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2015/01/150114-climb..., which includes a video about pitch 15. Jorgesen talks about it a bit.
