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.

10m.

The discontinuous cracks up the right-hand edge of the buttress have decent holds but the upper part is a bit light on gear. © Rockfax
