According to the russian text the grade is: 6B (VI +, 7b, A3).
I think the 63 was a typing error.
Google does a great job translating from russian.

As the grades go:
(VI+, 7b, б3), or 6B Russian grade -
VI+ - must be UIAA rating, pretty meaningless. Means something like 5.8 or harder.
7b - french free-climbing grade, 5.12c-d, and this might be a wild guess on their side, or so I think. From what I read none in the team can free climb that hard, forget alpine conditions.
б3(first character is cyrilic 'b') - it was A3, a typo. May or may not be true, Russians interpret A grades somewhat differently.
6B Russian grade - means it was at least as hard as, say, Half Dome regular route. 6B is a super-grade, everything harder than certain level gets that label.
Given the speed of accent it was probably 95% aid.
Most amazing thing to me is what they had originally planned and committed to spend more that a months on the wall.

Many everything up to camp 3 looks like avalanche country
Dunno, doesn't look like the smartest line. Look at camp 2!!!!!!!!!
But the line above camp 3 is SWEET
And the snowy weather in their climbing photos is significantly different from the sunny weather photo shown on the topo!
