Given the smearing and slopers on this problem, it's much easier in cool weather. If you're getting bouted (like I did the first time I tried it in 80 degree temps) and feel like it's a big sandbag, come back on a cool day. I still think it's a little harder than rated, probably V1.

Getting established on the problem is the hardest part. Weird moves.
