i agree with a lot that has been said on this thread. Maybe on this ben nevis project there is a approx 8c section on it with no protection. So in affect a solo. Mentally preparing yourself for something rated around E12 is quite a wise move in that respect.

What I wonder is how the route finishes and he gets down?

It tops out a la normal trad route.
