I missed this thread...buildering is a fine tradition at many East Coast insistutions of higher learning and the private high schools. I wasn't a climber at the time, but the architecture just begs you to pull on that ivy and go skyward. I do believe one tale told in this thread was about my alma mater. The buildering can be viewed as the precursor to the climbing gym and probably enhanced the skills of the silver spoon folks who took the lead in early American climbing.

NOw I have a couple of books to put on my reading list.....

I found a rare 1st edition is available at Powells Books for $175. I did not buy it, but I may look at it...and the discount code is no longer valid. It has been a couple of years.

For anyone running an iPad, there's an Amazon Kindle app you can download for free and you can chuck this book in for free this weekend as well.

Thanks for the link. Have just downloaded Kindle and the book onto my Mac. The back cover of the book has an interesting comment right at the end.

I had a copy (Night Climbers Of Cambridge) back in the mid 1950s, but it disappeared at some point since.

A friend and I night-climbed on the Georgia Tech campus during 1954 to 1956. I first used chalk there, leaving mysterious handprints for security people to ponder.
