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.

12m.

βeta: This and FB Right were both originally described as sharing the same finish, up the wall. If you limit yourself to just using the L and R crack respectively at the top, they are both harder than S.
