Rained off. Get pinch, get a torqued heel toe in at the back (where the obvious toe hook is), go into the undercut, slap the arete. Can keep heel in for next move too. Don't bother with arete? Should go..

Really good, don't ignore the undercut, you don't really need to use the arete at all!! 7b/+ in new guide
