Scope and content
H5 Great Court, Trinity College. - Scott and Jack Longland did 'the library chimney climb last night in the bright moonlight'; they took [Young's] guide and read it by moonlight at the bottom of the chimney. George Trevelyan was going to accompany them, but had a meeting and missed them. They took a look at the library face on the New Court side'; comments on problems of climbing it, with illustrations; 'part of the programme of the next meet on Saturday next', unsure whether it will be a 'new climb or not', as Young only records a downward climb with a rope. Young has added a pencil note at the end 'They did it, I think'.
