- Book Synopsis
- Martin Moran was a man of the mountains since youth. Famously, he made the first solo ascent of the Scottish Munros in the winter months, as described in his great book, The Munros in Winter. For decades he made his living as a mountain guide based in Strathcarron, Wester Ross. The Scottish hills by no means bound or defined him though. It was after his ascent of the North Face of the Eiger that he made his decision to take the mountain guide qualifications. Martin has climbed and guided in the Alps, Norway, and the Himalaya, experiencing life changing adventures, near-death experiences, meeting and guiding many interesting people. Humour has never been far away, but neither has excitement and interest. Martin Moran lived life in the mountains to the full and this is his story.
