The Hard Road to Everest by Doug Scott CBE

Doug Scott give a fascinating insight into how a lad born in Nottingham during the darkest days of WWII got into climbing on the Black Rocks in Derbyshire - aided with nothing but his mother’s clothes line, and how this led him to Everest in 1975. Doug and Dougal Haston became the first Britons to reach the summit of Everest and by the massive SW Face. As darkness fell they scraped a small cave in the snow 100 metres below the summit and survived the highest bivouac ever – without bottled oxygen
