Crag features
Benoath Headland is an easily accessed crag which is quite small when viewed from the coast path but has a bigger feel when you are on it. The east face of the crag is easily identified, from the viewpoint above Rocky Valley, by its overhangs and massive chimney feature and the distinctive crack line running right to left up the crag. The West face is composed of short grooves and ramp lines.
The rock is generally solid at the bottom of the crag but deteriorates a little towards to top.
It may be possible to climb some of the routes at most states of the tide but care should be taken in bigger seas and at high tide.
The east face of the crag receives little sun but the gearing up ledges and west face are in sun all day.
Approach notes
Park in the lay-by at Trevillet Mill and take the path down through Rocky Valley. Take the Coast Path west up to a viewpoint where the crag can be seen. Continue along the coast path until a fisherman's path can be picked up and followed down the spur to convenient gearing up ledges. There is an old stake in situ which can be used as part of the belay for both of the routes described. This can be backed up with belays in rock bluffs.
To reach the base of the routes continue scrambling down the rocky spur.
