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
Take the right-trending line of polished holds that steepen. Escape off right under the Bel Ami tower. Originally the route finished up the loose groove on the left - this is best avoided. © Rockfax

βeta: Upper section is rotten - lots of scars where rock has broken away. Gear placements gone and holds look like they could break off - Escaped on to the vs next door which is nicer. Avoid if S is your max grade! | ||

βeta: Top pitch "suspect flake" broken off a couple of years ago, now tough little problem to finish off otherwise easy route - probably 5a move! | βeta? | |

βeta: Dodgy flake in the upper section now broken and gone. Original upper corner can now by climbed but much more difficult than Severe. Needs a big cam to protect it. | βeta? | |

βeta: I think the flake on the second half of the route is quite dangerous and liable to come off sometime soon - it moved noticably when I pulled on it (just before retreating rapidly!) The first part (ie the original route) is quite awkward for the grade and felt more like HS 4a (good gear but it's below your feet on the crux) | βeta? | |

βeta: Seemed an easy route but not so fun when it starts to rain halfway up the initial slab! My second twice slid off the second half of the route.... | βeta? | |
