I did this route - it's tough on the knees, no respite at all, just a steep descent all the way to the valley floor. I did the walk with someone else to do the 2-cars option, so we'd left a car in a layby near where we'd finish the descent. We just crossed the river more or less at that point. Just over knee deep, though not fast flowing .....but of course that will be very dependent on recent weather. I'm not sure it was a better option than doing the full route to be honest.
