I had tried it once very briefly eight years ago, but as I couldn't even do the first move, I had quickly given up on it and forgotten about it since. I had set it back on my list a short time ago, and had made it my main goal for today. When I arrived at the boulder and had a look at it, I immediately remembered why I hadn't been able to do that first move and almost decided to leave again without even trying it. The slopers looked way too bad to even think about trying it, especially with these higher temperatures, even in the morning. It did get some shade from nearby trees though, so I ended up trying it anyway and soon realized that it might be possible after all.
I took my time, and stayed with it, feeling more and more confident with each attempt.
It felt great to top it out, and I was glad that I had decided to stay after all. I liked this problem a lot.
