Looking for help from those who done this route and know it pretty well.  :please:

I’m looking for shorter person beta (5ft 8”) on this route.
I’ve managed to work out the low crux sequence with the left under cling with right crossing into the big jug.
But it’s the next section, going from the big jug,  I’m struggling with. There’s three options I’ve tried.

Option 1. Going up and left to the vertical side pull fin/flake like hold. I can reach it but cant get any use out of it to pull up on to the bigger jugs just left of the next bolt. Seems bereft of left foot options.

Option 2. Reaching up above my head into the under cling with my right hand, there's a few options for feet but once I’m in the under cling, I cant bring my left hand up to the next hold.

Option 3. Using option 1 and then into option 2, but this seemed ridiculously bad beta. Thought my head was going to burst with the strain and ridiculous number of foot moves. So I binned that after two tries

While I’m here, I may as well be greedy.. At the last bolt there’s a right hand side pull and a three finger slot to pull onto the slab to finish. is the best method,  pull on the smallish side pull with the right hand and cross over to the slot with the left hand and then go up?

Finally, can you get access to the anchors from the Monsal trail and drop a fixed line? That would be quicker than stick clipping / rope soloing my way up this line.

Not unless you mine your way out of the side of the railway tunnel.   :o

I went round to the top of the crag a couple of years ago to clear a dead tree and large block perched over the top of the crag after the winter storms. It's a massive pain the arse and best avoided
