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
An oddly-named thin crack. Awkward though safe enough with fiddly gear and perhaps easier if you can keep moving. © Rockfax

βeta: keeping on the move is the key. All that crack makes it really tempting to over do it on the gear, which is what I did and got tired. | βeta? | |

βeta: Quite tricky but good pro. The trick is getting from the big jug half way up on the RHS to the big ledge. Stiff at VS. | βeta? | |
