For stuff at your limit, it’s pretty rare that you go back and try it again.

Sometimes you’ll come back to add a sit start to a problem that you’ve done in the past, and in that case I’ve surprised myself on occasion by being able to do the (previously) hard stand start over and over again on demand. Other times, such as this one, the upper part becomes the crux again, since now you need to do it after tiring yourself out on the new lower bit.

But yes, it’s not uncommon to dial in the occasional hard problem as a party piece. There are a few fun ones in the forest that I make a point of repeating every time I’m in the area.
