Gave it a go on toppy to try the moves, bottom half felt pretty cruisy. Great moves on great holds, but pretty pumpy and rather reachy in places. Deadpoint move is pretty low percentage, but move is definitely possible for me. Top is super scary and not sure I've perfected my beta enough to try on lead... yet.
