Now all I need is for you to confirm that Lords Rake or Foxes Tarn route is in fact quicker than Broad Stand

Interesting to note that, after recent rock movements, Foxes Tarn seems to be regarded as more unstable than Lords Rake at the moment.
When I did my BG this year, one of my pacers went via Foxes Tarn and there was such a queue at Broad Stand that he beat me to the top! So it could be quicker (especially if you use the climber's traverse that Ali described earlier this year).
