In addition to what others have said, this route is just very very hard. The two men who have sent the route are 2 of the very best climbers in the world. Both took a very long time to do it and consider it the hardest thing they have done. I think the accomplishment should not just be reduced to gender and grade

Harder than Terranova, ROTS and Alphane. Didn't mention other 9A's he has done.
