The Camera, or the Sheldonian?
Does anyone know who is reputed to have made the first ascent of the Camera? I tip my hat to him.

I always thought you were Paul Harrison, named after your classic (and late) Lundy route. I'm now guessing not.
I think I've heard the David Cox story somewhere as well. It's a pity he didn't write more; what he did was very entertaining. Was it him bathing with the Mallory sisters? "The convention was that you didn't look."
