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.

11m.

Rockfax Description
A hard start and finish. Jam the crack on the right to ledges. The crack leads to easy ground and a beached-whale exit between 'the paps', or escape off right (4c). © Rockfax
