Smuggler’s Cliff Scurvy Robinson Crusoe Block and Tackle Block and Tackle, Direct Start Lookout

The Graip According to 1960 guide, about a dozen routes were made on this face at VDiff or harder. Only one climb was named, Elbow Groove (the obvious right-angled corner about halfway along the face). Mike Taylor says 1949- 1950. Possibly all top-roped by a combination of Patey, Taylor and Morrison. Ray Burnett may have led many of these in 1968 but details have been lost.
