I never did a Guide for T1 - luckily, a very dedicated taffer named Thumper was kind enough to do one. Indeed, it was his work which inspired me to make my eforts.
Thumper's Guide to the Strange and Unusual Thief
BTW - you missed a climbing spot!
Climb onto the table where you get your sword and bow and jump onto the tree. Quickly mantle onto the ledge around the courtyard. The next part is very tricky:
You need to do at least two strafe-jumps to pick up speed and if you jump from the very edge of the ledge, you can grab the roof above the table and mantle onto it.
