And that brings the point often missed. At least in the grade levels of mere mortals, sport routes and gear routes tend to differ in style greatly. Angry was a good crack climber, so he can jam his way up a 13a crack, but he used to flail on similarly overhung 13a with face holds. Doesn't mean if somebody bolted WTOK, he would've had a harder time on it.
But if you start looking at the movements of 5.14s (Justin's route not withstanding, as it probably requires pretty specialized techniques not all strong sport climbers can learn quickly), whether it's bolted or accepts gear, you gotta be strong, period.
