Geoffrey Winthrop Young

Geoffrey Winthrop Young appears in 89.剑桥夜攀者：让我们庄严地上房揭瓦 as the author associated with [[TrinityCollegeClimbingGuide|《三一学院攀爬指南》]], an earlier Cambridge climbing guide that precedes [[TheNightClimbersOfCambridge|《剑桥夜攀者》]]. The episode uses him to show that Campus Night Climbing had a remembered guide tradition before Noel H. Symington / 诺埃尔·H.赛明顿’s Whipplesnaith book.

His role in this source is mainly genealogical. He anchors the idea that illicit or semi-illicit campus climbing could be documented, stylized, and passed down as underground knowledge while still being socially distinct from formal mountaineering.
