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 Curbar rarity - as in not too tough at the grade. Twin cracks lead past blocks to steeper flaky cracks that are best tackled rapidly. Protection is good and pressing on is the best idea. © Rockfax

βeta: No really hard moves but very hard to not get boxed out of your mind placing gear, just built a bombshelter at the bottom of the big crack and then ran it out to the top. Quite hight dependant, 5.9 managed to just about reach everything but 5.4 really struggled | ||

βeta: Def not low in grade, moves are never that hard but the steep pumpy upper section is quite difficult simply because stopping to place gear would probably result in a fall. Tried not to think about how low my gear was as i wrestled with the upper crack :-) | βeta? | |
