Do it solo, but not for difficulty reasons. There is a "bug" in the game where if people in the group abandon it / kick you while you are attempting, you can fail. (at least there was, I havn't experienced it lately because I always do it solo since I had it fail on me once)
It's more of a matter of luck than difficulty, you won't need fancy items or need to buy anything special. You could do it naked if you wanted, and I highly recommend it sometime, very uplifting and carefree feeling.
If you are level 71+, you are ready. Good luck!
