Doug Scott

Scott also made the first ascent of Kangchenjunga from the North-east with Peter Boardman and Joe Tasker the same way. This was the first time a big mountain was climbed with such minimal support and without oxygen being available for climbing

Scott has climbed the Seven Summits, the highest peaks on all seven continents. He was made a CBE in 1994 and in 1999 he received the Royal Geographical Society Patron’s Gold Medal.

Scott also sells his photographs to magazines and mountaineering publications, and also uses them to illustrate his mountaineering presentations. More of his photographs have been on the front cover of mountain books than those of any other photographer. He is also author of Himalayan Climber—A Photographic Autobiography.
