To what extent is it still valid to call the line King Lion, when Romain goes up a completely different way to Chris Sharma's way (see Dosage 3)? Romain goes off to the right nowhere near Chris's way which was to the left. I'm not saying this is any easier/harder than the original (you'd have to try both ways to find out), but when a climber goes off a completely different line to the original sender is it still justified to call it by the same name? Just asking.

I would have to agree with 4wight. He went way off route! It is almost like Sharma's way is a direct line/route in comparison to the movement the climber took to the far right.

@4wight i noticed the same thing but honestly the crux is down low up there is just a top out its fair to just try and top out the easy way sharma's way wont make sense to most humans
