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.

9m.

Rockfax Description
A fairly unremarkable wall climb. Head first left then right to finish at a tiny crack. A dodgy spike and some wires protect. © Rockfax

βeta: Not quite Pretty Face, but not far off... Crux is slightly easier, and slightly lower, but with a worse landing, so I think another for the E0 grade. I could imagine some really fiddly gear on the mid-height ledge, but it's far easier to solo.

βeta: The crux is an awkward mantle near the top and there's no gear, so even though it's "only" 6m I'd say it was at least E1
