I really like this problem. It took me forever to do it because I just couldn't commit to the slab. My feet just didn't want to stick. For what it's worth, I found this a bit harder than Ride the Lightning.

I heard once that the orriginal line started a bit to the left, with a stand start off of some crimps, above the sit start variation (Polish Terrorist, V8.) I still haven't sent either variation but I like the "original" line better because the high right foot described above just annoyes me.

I agree that this is a harder line than Ride the Lightning... Lightning took me a handful of tries where terrorist took me over a year of off and on attempts... likely more than 50 tries...

More awkward than hard, IMO. But I also think RTL is a soft 6.
