How to handle sport routes that have been climbed DWS?

One that springs to mind is Ethan Pringle's recent ascent of The Movie Screen (8c) at summersville lake. It's had at least a couple of ascents as a sport route so doesn't seem quite right to class it as a DWS at the mo, but clearly it is possible as a DWS so should appear on the list.

Separate entry with (DWS) after the name?

Good shout, done that with a little modification of using meta data to identify it as a DWS version of the sport route (same pattern as we've used with free and aid versions of big wall routes e.g. The Nose (A2) and The Nose (E9).

Movie Screen looks by far the gnarliest on the list. A big drop into very still water 😱
