At the end do you drop low or span across to the juggy side pulls? I fluffed the end up twice before giving up today  :(

Thanks

Either will allow the tick. I'm a spanner personally ;)

Drop down low with left hand to obvious chalked crimp. Jump right hand across to furthest left of good high holds. Left foot out left and press with right hand to be able to reach lower of 2 chalked crimps across the 'gap' as a reverse crimp, then bring right hand over top to higher of these 2 crimps.

This last bit is fairly steady once you get your balance right.

In fact the whole problem is fairly steady at 7a+. Good tho.
