Rumour has it that blow torching in the 90s contributed to the deterioration of the pocket. Not sure if that is true.
Im trying to clear up the entry for revelations on climbing history: https://climbing-history.org/climb/310/revelationsAs I understand it, when Jerry made the FA it was given 8a+ and since then holds have deteriorated, it's gotten harder and is now considered 8b. I guess it's going to be one of those 'line in the sand' sorta things, but does anyone know roughly when it went from being considered 8a+ to 8b?

Yep, Big Ron did it but said he found it really hard. I don't know which way he did the move but have heard that he came in from the left, dunno if this is even any easier, even if true.
