Access:
To find Tunnel Cove and Robertson's Cove, you have 2 options.
1 from the north of Joyce's Bay scramble around the rocks and find a fisherman's track leading to Point Robertson.
2 Branching off this track up a gulley to the right is a rough track leading to Tunnel Cove (and also Goat Cove). From there you can scramble south to reach Robertson's Cove.

Comments
It seams to me like “Rest
It seams to me like “Rest Holmes” and all the routes below are actually supposed to be on the “white Wall / Joyce bay wall”.
Be great to have some
Be great to have some clarification on what is what on this wall. There are some great lines, description is wildly annoying.
I have put DDB at the top of the best routes so now you can have an enjoyable days climbing quality trad routes without the Flax basing and bollarding that used to be required.
Be great if someone can point the route names out on the photo above.
