It is, yes.
Beyond that, back when I climbed, two decades ago, if I recall correctly, single pitches of 5.14 were thought to be practically impossible. My recollection may be off, though.
Now 5.15c is the higher level climbed... But 5.15b 5.15c climbers who are climbing this level are so rare that it's difficult to really know what is the higher level human being can climb.
My best level was 5.11 b/c but if you want to go higher you must like to suffer.
endorphines and fear are druggs.
