contents For a fixed radius $r$ and a point $o$ in the curve complex of a surface, we define the sphere of radius $r$ to be the induced subgraph on the set of vertices of distance $r$ from $o$. We show that these spheres are almost simply connected for surfaces of high enough complexity, in the sense that loops in the sphere bound an embedded disk contained in a small neighborhood of the sphere.
