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
The left-hand crack is short and 'ard. Maybe the same grade as Toy, but sees a lot less attention. Gaining the narrower upper section is especially difficult. If successful it is eyes right! © Rockfax

βeta: A 'proper' route. There's a trick to gain the upper section which once you've worked it out makes it quite easy, but will you find it before you become exhausted? Quite pumpy all the way, but you're left with a great feeling of satisfaction when you get to the top. | βeta? | |
