Adders are frequently seen around Curbar. They are often very well camoflaged so it's worth keeping an eye out when moving into new areas, picking up kit etc as a bite, although not life threatening to most healthy adults can still be nasty.
Ticks are abundant due to a large population of red deer. take care, particularly if passing through bracken below the crag.

βeta: The break is much more rounded than it appears from the ground and it is not easy to place the large friend. Reversing is hard too ! - I count myself lucky not to have broken a leg. | βeta? | |

βeta: I was talking to someone about this. John Kirk is first ascentionists brother so he must be alluding to something ! Apparently Paul used pre-placed stacked hexes on the FA which certainly doesnt invalidate the ascent and apparently Martin Boysen repeated it shortly after. BTW this all second hand info - anyone care to confirm? | βeta? | |

βeta: John K - What do you mean the FA was more like 1990? I did this route back in 1986 and I'm sure many others had done it prior to that. | βeta? | |

βeta: The climbing is steady but the landing is bad. The break will take 2 friend 4's if you like. | βeta? | |
