whats the score with the upgrading? Was the upgrade only suggested after the hold broke or before?
Also why is the swarm now considered 8b+ when it was originally given 8a+/8b? Have holds broken on this too?

he did it in negative degree conditions and in about 10 minutes after walking up to it - I guess he spent a day on it previously - super fast and impressive
