Rob Greenwood, Tim Hill and Xa White show us around Curbar Edge in The Peak District.
Curbar is, in our opinion, one of the most underrated circuits in the Peak District. This isn’t to say Curbar is unpopular, because it isn’t. In fact, it’s home to one of the most popular boulders in the country - the Trackside Boulder; however, it’s all too easy to get stuck at that boulder - and many do - but the intention of this video is to encourage people to explore further, because there are some absolute gems further afield along the edge.

Great video! Nice to see some climbing us mere mortals can aspire to do. 😊

It’s odd how there’s so much footage of 7&8s, but how little footage there is of 5&6s. Hopefully this video helps to readdress the balance. We’ve got a few others to follow over the coming weeks too.

Good effort Xa. Trackside was my first 7a too ;)

It’s a great first 7a. We were all absolutely buzzing when he did it. So good to capture it on camera too. The question is, what was your first 7A+? Maybe we should get Xa on that at a later date…

How could you miss out The Ultimate Gritstone Experience!? It’s pretty aptly named. Though I wouldn’t judge you if you couldn’t find it 😂

Personally, I really like the Ben Moon one on the pockets that's hidden away a bit and doesn't get too much traffic. It's really good fun though.

Are you thinking of Ben’s Wall, the 7C? If so, it’d reasonable popular, but also reasonably hard. Certainly not one any of us were going to casually bust out in front of the camera. I must have tried it 100+ times and I’ve never stuck that final move.

Great video. A few questions, what was the problem at 8:30. It's the only one that isn't labelled, is it a secret? Also, why didn't you show the start of Fidget? I was hoping to see some beta on it. Don't want to accuse anyone of piling up mats and skipping the start, but if I didn't see it, you didn't do it!!
