I can guarantee I'll never be upping my game that much!

I don't know Adam Ondra, but Tommy Caldwell, the driving force behind the first ascent of that climb is a good friend of ours and I've seen what that takes and I know I don't have it! What does it take? Incredible motivation, great genetics, unquenchable joy in the process and an ability to bounce back from really big setbacks.
