βeta: A cunning knee-lock makes it possible to reach the sloping hold directly from below (for the tall) which gives an easier move than the depressingly powerful but obvious left hand crank on a tiny edge - probably still worth 6b though.

βeta: Worked out we did Der Komissar, the original route up the wall at E46a. ie reach up to a flake on the right to rock left for the key large sloping hold. What we did seems the natural way to climb the wall. To avoid the flake is looking for difficulty for its own sake and so I would regard Jaded as an eliminate. However, I guess it tidied things up for the guidebook to make Moontan an entirely independent route!.
