It doesn't seem cheaty to me (though I've never chosen that route - yet). For one, I asked the marshals who said it's fine. Secondly, it does still go to buck stones if you follow the trail. Third, it's longer. Fourth, I don't think it's any quicker, just more runnable and perhaps less energy sapping therefore. Fifth, it only ever seems to be the choice of those right at the front, and no one ever complains. So, why not try it and see?
