Velvet Wall

The last crag to be detailed accessed from the Porth-Clais car park is the surprising Velvet Wall. A textured, purple seaside cliff, and completely hidden despite being just metres below the coastpath. The only downside is the scale of it - if it were somewhat wider (and higher), we’d have more to go at! The colours are outrageous, the crozzly pockets are heaven to the touch, and the two plum-vertical routes are quite brilliant. So: small, but perfectly formed. Guidebook page 46.
