The result of years of painstaking research and hundreds of interviews, 'Mountain Guru' examines the life of one of mountaineering's most significant figures; Doug Scott. Moorehead's biography offers an insight into 'Scott the man' as well as 'Scott the climber' - covering his far-reaching charity work and occasionally tumultuous personal life alongside his many expeditions and first ascents.
