Imagine...
... climbing to the top of that. In evening dress. In 1937. The guy who did that (see picture below) got rusticated from university for doing the same but on King's Chapel a little later. Crazy. That chap is still alive and kicking at 90 and coming to the launch next week.

What launch you ask? Why, the launch for The Night Climbers of Cambridge by Whipplesnaith of course. 70 years after it was first published this bible of buildering and fore-runner of free running is about to hit the tiles once more.

“...while mountaineers are counted by the tens of thousands,
roof-climbers could scarcely be mustered by the dozen.”
