#70 - Castle Wall

While I usually don't post classic puzzles supported on puzz.link to my blog, I already tweeted a similar puzzle recently, so I figured this would fit best on here (hence why it's on penpa only - puzz.link links on this blog get picked up by puzz.link).

The other puzzle is visually less appealing but had some different logical steps I wanted to showcase. After finishing that one, I decided to try the full layout as well, to see if I could make that work too. The result is this puzzle, which is visually more striking and has a completely different solve path and solution. It's very possible this exact idea/layout has been done before, in which case feel free to let me know - I couldn't find any in a quick search.

If you're having trouble breaking in - here's a hint (ROT13): guvax tybonyyl - ubj znal frtzragf ner erdhverq ng zvavzhz cre frg bs qvntbany pyhrf gb fcyvg va/bhg cnevgl?

Difficulty: 4/5

(rules from Puzzle Rules)
Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells. The loop may not enter outlined cells or cells containing clues. White cells with outlines must lie inside the loop, while black cells with outlines must lie outside the loop. Grey cells may either be inside or outside the loop. A number represents the sum of the lengths of loop segments in the indicated direction.
