All the Benllech crags need regular traffic otherwise they will become overgrown and the ivy will take over, many of the routes were bolted with marine grade resin bolts so should be ok. Get there for the morning sun as they face east ish.

A mix of 2 bolt lower offs and chain / ring lower offs. It's worth mentioning that Benllech suffers from a lack of traffic and is a use it or lose it crag at the moment. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the best sector is the Anglers Zawn Upper Tier, which many seem to struggle to find the approach. The guidebook approach descriptions do work if followed and the upper tier can be approached at all states of tide. it is however overgrown but with traffic and ongoing clearing of vegetation it soon clears up....
