Completed before his death in 2020, and edited by Catherine Moorehead, 'Kangchenjunga' is Doug Scott’s final book. Scott explores the mountain and its people before going on to look at Western approaches and climbing attempts, including his own in 1979. 'Kangchenjunga' is Scott’s tribute to this sacred mountain, a paean for a Himalayan giant, written by a giant of Himalayan climbing.
