While I'm able to come up from UD following a dropback, I've never managed to come up from a straight Urdhva Dhanurasana. Quite surprised me this morning when it happened. This last week I've been feeling comfortable taking a couple of steps in and feeling my weight shift more towards my legs, all it took was a couple of rocks back and forth and a good inhale and I was up.
A few months back when I was focusing on backbends and trying to come up I felt that trying to come straight up from UD potentially put too much strain on the back. It somehow felt less of a strain to try and come up after dropping back, for that reason I haven't tried coming up that seriously until this morning. Guess I was just ready.
I left a dropback on the end of the video because I don't usually video these up close like this, thought it gave a clear view on how I'm going about it at the moment.

Bravo, Grimmly. It's official, I am your fan.
To be able to do get this far by practicing on your own, with books and DVDs, I am totally in awe of you.
