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.
Rockfax Description
A complex line - splitting it is sensible. Climb a thin crack past a stump then a jutting rib. Move down and across right to a stance below the arete. Up the rounded rib then move along ledges to the far right arete. Climb the face just left of this then grope around the bulge to find 'the big rocker' and an exit. See p432. © Rockfax

βeta: Gave it a good clean back end of May 2023, the bottom crack is now much better although would benefit from the tree being taken back a bit. P2. Don’t drop down - take the level traverse - much better and keeps the interest throughout. The final section climbs the right arete then shuffle steeply along the ledge leftwards until poor feet are gained and go up from here - careful not to get your hands stuck under the Big Rocker! | ||

βeta: The upper section requires clarification. Does it take the fornt right arete or the easier back right arete. Neither are VS in any case. | βeta? | |
