Origin of rock wall

First recorded in 1900–05

As we approached the rock-wall clouds swept rapidly over it.

Italian Alps |Douglas William Freshfield
The line of light at the foot of the rock-wall is the only entrance to the glacière.

Ice-Caves of France and Switzerland |George Forrest Browne
It looked an ugly place, but there I must go, for the rock-wall I was on was getting unclimbable.

Prester John |John Buchan
The figure with its background of rock-wall seemed to lose form.

John Ames, Native Commissioner |Bertram Mitford

The people up there call it a God-given rock-wall, and of course there is no force to speak of just near it.

The Half-Hearted |John Buchan
