The Roof-climber's Guide to St John's

Price: £6.95

"The St John's Roof Guide was produced in imitation of the first edition, by a post-war group consisting largely of Johnsian Blues. Hartley (thrice stroke of the VIII), Oliver Grag (who'd been under me in Italy), Darlington (another doctor) etc. They invited me to attend a solemn meet and showed me the climbs and told me they'd copied the Trinity Guide's style as close as might be!"  - Geoffrey Winthrop-Young

"One is scarcely tempted to remain long at the point E, and it is not until
one has descended to the security of the battlements at C that one
stops to admire the view and realise how magnificent it is."

 

Oleander is proud to announce the republication of one of the rarest night-climbing titles - The Roof-climber's Guide to St John's. Similar in style to the Trinity guide, the book lists the routes every person in statu pupillari needs to know to find their way around the stegophilic landscape of this venerable institution:

Route A - First Court

Route B - Second Court

Route C - Third Court

Route D - Chapel Court

Route E - New Court

Route F - Bridge of Sighs

Route G - From St John's to Trinity

along with

Appendix I - The best Climbs in St John's and Trinity

Appendix II - On Roof Climbing.

 

Oleander is pleased to be publishing The Roof-Climber's Guide to Trinity, its 2nd (1930) and 3rd (1960) editions, and also Geoffrey Winthrop-Young's Wall and Roof Climbing.

 

Customers who bought this also bought the bible of buildering - The Night Climbers of Cambridge by Whipplesnaith

 

 Available late November.
