It is very similar to Lee's, i just got a fast drop at the top right on the way down and kept that speed through to the finish.
Yes Kris, you can take a more direct route. Jumping from the top right to the left sticky ceiling and riding that down to the final drop is possible, ive down it a few times. However, in order to do that, you need to go all the way to the top right of the level, off the sticky part. This costs time, and i am not sure whether or not the method is actually beneficial yet.
