That looks exciting. Creag A'Bhancair seems almost uniquely successful with trad and bolted routes co-existing? Is that mossy diagonal Carnivore?

Yes, it's a great looking line that Iain put up and Niall's efforts were great to watch! The pair of them are both super strong and stamina beasts. The face itself does seem to permit both trad and sport, although as I understand it, most of what are now full sport routes were once exceedingly sparsely bolted and were generally backed up with wires. I do't fancy trying any of them under those circumstances. As things stand now, there is trad on both the left and right of the sport section of the wall.
Yep, you're right, that's Carnivore you can see on the obvious rising mossy traverse. I've never tried it, but have heard some interesting stories of when the second peels and takes a huge pendulum, skimming the grassy slope below. Now that would make a photo!
