It is very difficult without hearing you to say if you are ready, but this study is in a different league to the other pieces in your repetoire.

I taught myself how to play this some years ago, so i might be wrong, but if memory serves me correctly my left hand was almost vertical to keep it well away from the right hand.

At first this was uncomfortable, but like most things with practise, it becomes easier.
