The beginning was indeed quite difficult.  Anyone that's familiar with my chubby, stubby, north-German fingers knows that I have a distinct disadvantage on what others fondly refer to as "finger cracks"!  And of course, the popularity of this pitch assures that the first few holds are considerably greased up with excess chalk.  I slipped off a couple of times on the first moves before figuring out what would work for me.
