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
Climb the slabby lower wall trending right - bold - to the base of a groove (possible belay). Enter and climb the groove to a choice of finishes, direct is harder, stepping left onto the arete is more exposed - both are excellent. © Rockfax

βeta: One of the Best VSs anywhere, especially if you finish on the arete, much better than cowering inthe groove | βeta? | |

βeta: I climbed it in a single pitch taking the fine arete to finish... Tricky unprotected traverse to start then up and across onto a mighty fine arete in a great positon. Three stars from me when done as above. | βeta? | |

βeta: There is pro on the traverse, two small wires in a double sided flake, I fell off it and the gear held. I had to keep my legs up though and my backside was only inches from the ground! | βeta? | |

βeta: Excellent route if a bit "off piste". Intial slab, quite bold but technically easy. Really the description should encourage the use of the arete as the preferred alternative. The groove is a lesser option and very out of character with the lower part of the route. Do it that way and it is a fine excursion. | βeta? | |

βeta: Slab traverse is excellent, not at all hard but no gear. The arete at the top makes the route worth every star. | βeta? | |
