Think you’re too weak and timid to climb at Curbar? Think it’s unremittingly steep and covered in sandbags? Think that there’s nothing good there beyond the famous climbs at the right-hand end?
Well you’re wrong about at least one of those things. Here’s a selection of safe routes in the sub-extreme grades along the length of this great crag that will go a long way to turning you into a Curbar-loving grit hard nut who relishes getting stuck into a possibly undergraded climb and finds similar routes at most crags steady.
