Being something of a cragsman, I did manage to get half way to the top of that. — The Lost World, Arthur Conan Doyle
I am more of a cragsman than to mind fire or water, wave by sea, or quagmire by land." — The Pirate: Andrew Lang Edition, Walter Scott
These cliffs are so continuous all round as to leave--so one is told--only three spots in the circumference where they can be climbed; and although I noticed one or two other places where a nimble cragsman might make his way up, it is at those three points only that an attack by a number of men could possibly be made. — Impressions of South Africa, James Bryce, Viscount Bryce
