Are you saying that a linkup that starts on one route, climbs into a second route, then finishes on the first route is an independent line? Even when they share an anchor?!

It's a linkup that climbs the 1st two bolts of Grace and finishes on DL and is probably the most direct line on the steeps of Mordor wall. Kinda wish this was the first line, rather than a 'linkup'. Then Grace and DL would have been variations. Have fun. Let me know what you think.
