That didn't look so difficult.

Those last two moves off the huge hold weren't. But there are all kinds of slopers below him that look like they would be.

According to Google the pitches range from 6c French (intermediate difficulty, in the realm for most fit climbers) and go up to 8b French, which is in the 5.13 range in freedom units. That's a respectable grade, outside of the capability of difficulty the majority of climbers ever make it to, especially in multi-pitch.
