• This Times of London story about a secret society of rooftop climbers at Cambridge has stayed with me ever since reading about it at Light Reading last weekend. The article mentions an antique book, The Night Climbers of Cambridge, authored by “Whipplesnaith” and published in 1937. The book is now out of print but can still be read online. (I’ve read it and plan to use its advice to scale the Methodist church up the block later today.)
