I don't think this completion should be flagged, but the standard should be consistent. This completion went clockwise and skipped the SW Ridge on Longs, while Rossiter specifically describes the route as counterclockwise and Longs as "Southwest Ridge/Keyhole Ridge." Either the Rossiter specified ridgelines are required, or the route is defined by tagging the peaks. It doesn't make sense to selectively enforce certain ridgelines while treating others as optional.
