THE NIGHT CLIMBERS OF CAMBRIDGE by WHIPPLESNAITH |
|||
"Lest others should attempt the ascent of this terrible climb and perish, they swore themselves to secrecy and went off to try Everest instead.” |
Stegophily: (noun) the act of climbing on the outside of buildings and other artificial structures. |
||
“...while mountaineers are counted by the tens of thousands, roof-climbers could scarcely be mustered by the dozen.” |
|||
“Like characters from Buchan crossing a Scottish moor on a stormy night, they are silent and solitary, mysterious and unknown...” |
“There is no moon, the sky is cloudy and the barometer is high. It will be a fine night.” |
||
"A few enthusiasts swarm up every pipe they see, for its own sake, but they are not necessarily good climbers. They are gymnasts." |
