Mountaineer Doug Scott talks to Trail Magazine's Simon Ingram about climbing Everest by its hardest route, surviving an agonising 8 day crawl down The Ogre with two broken legs, and how a night in Glen Coe gave him the confidence to conduct the world's highest unplanned bivouac.
The full interview appeared in the June 2009 issue of Trail Magazine. For more on Doug see the Community Action Nepal website (www.canepal.org.uk) and www.dougscottmountaineering.co.uk

I love that sort of 'WW2 veteran' modesty that some people have, maybe it comes with age.

Huge respect to this man. His comments on scotland are potent- it amazes me that against even everest, the Scottish hills, dwarves as they are in height comparison, can kill just as generously. We hugely underestimate the power of not only mountains, but nature in general.

I saw Doug as a still strapping 40 something give his talk in about 1983 at Australian National University film club venue. I bought a signed copy of a Himalaya poster and I've kept it 25 years. So inspired by 1989 I did a climbing course and Mt Aspiring main face in NZ. My first real climb, cheeky too but great. Small beer to this guy. Thanks for the great memories Doug. You da man.
