Can you beat Hollow Knight without touching Grass?

hey! i've returned with perhaps my silliest challenge run yet; can you beat the game without touching grass?
The route for this one ended up being really interesting, with a greenpathless and therefore dashless run leading to some fun shenanigans. I've got a few other challenge run ideas like this in mind, that i might explore in the future. It was interesting to take something that was obviously impossible, and see what i could do with it with the power of hitboxes, savestates and slow motion, more as a "theoretical run" i suppose....
I hope everyone's having a nice end of year/holiday season though! Sorry for the lack of uploads recently :O
