People put up first ascents and they propose a grade. Some go up, some go down, some are spot on, first time.

Have any of Malc's first ascents ever been downgraded?
In fact, have the likes of Leviathan, Lothlorian and Pilgrmage even had 2nd ascents.

He didn't want to give Blood Diamond 9a, but I don't think he any choice with this one as it was clearly harder than the two 8c+ already on the Anvil.
Absolute beast of an effort. When I heard he had a proj up there, I was thinking it would only be a matter of time. Turned out to be less time than I was expecting!
