Guide to Mountains

Doug Scott, CBE, has made 45 expeditions to the high mountains of Asia. He has reached the summit of 40 peaks, of which half were first ascents, and all were climbed by new routes or for the first time in Alpine Style climbing, without the use of artificial oxygen. He has reached the highest peaks on all seven continents -- "the seven summits." He is a past President of the Alpine Club and he was made a Commander of the British Empire in 1994. In 1999, Scott received the Royal Geographical Society Patron's Gold Medal.
