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.

βeta: Not sure how reachy (I'm 5'9" with a plus 3 ape index) unprotected 5b moves doesn't warrant E1. Once the shelf is gained the route becomes no harder than severe, probably best treated as a boulder problem.
