Abstract
This is a transcription of the 1970 edition of Cambridge Night Climbing by "Hederatus". Following on from the successful group transcription of "Whipplesnaith"'s 1930s classic, The Night Climbers of Cambridge, this worthy 1970 successor was the next obvious target for digital republishing. Fortunately, lessons were learned from the previous transcription and this time no outside help was required, other than a couple of hours with Mrs Buckley's scanner. Thanks to Alan Dickinson for his loan of the book.
My take on the copyright situation is as for the previous book — it is long out of print and I think the author and participants are all proud enough of their achievements that they would be glad to see it made available to all (be they would-be night climbers or enthusiasts of eccentric Cantabridgiana.) Copyright holders: if this isn't the case, please let me know! My hope is that there will be as much enthusiasm for this book as for its more famous 1930s companion. If there is, perhaps we can get this book re-published, too...
Finally, an appeal: if anyone has a copy of the extremely rare Trinity Roof Climbers' Guide by Geoffrey Winthrop Young and would like to see if get the same digital treatment, then I'm very happy to do the honours and host the result. Either high res (100dpi) scanned page images or temporary loan of the book would be ideal.
