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.

I enjoyed watching this. It’s a refreshingly different take on a bouldering video and really nicely conceived and executed. 

Tell us more about engaging the buttocks please

In a day and age of fingerboarding I can’t help but feel like the legs, hips and bottom get forgotten all too frequently. It’s my completely in unqualified opinion to say that they matter far more on Grit than fingers do, but I’m sure now that I’ve said this I’ll think of 101 problems where finger strength is all-important (although I’m sure I could think of another 1001 where it isn’t).

That said, I’m not sure the world is ready for a video series of me extolling the virtues of buttock muscles…

Spoken like a true runner

Of all the people who could have got back to me it’s the man with the world’s strongest fingers 😂

You're right about the running though.
