Depends on your own experience and head really. They are positive holds, but some are polished but many find it no problem in the wet. Some might have an epic though with the exposure added in.

I think I did it when wet and its fine apart from one 3 metre (ish) slab (crux of the climb) - bottled it at the time and chose an alternative to the left which was probably harder!
