Martin Moran lived life in the mountains to the full. He climbed and guided in the Alps, Norway, and the Himalayas, sharing life-changing adventures along the way. Following Martin's tragic disappearance in the Himalaya in 2019, this commemorative edition includes a foreword by Martin's daughter, Hazel Moran.
Martin Moran was one of Britain's most experienced mountaineers and guides. Born on North Tyneside he studied geography at Cambridge University before moving to Sheffield with his new wife, Joy, to train as a chartered accountant. In 1985 he qualified as a British and International IFMGA Mountain Guide and moved to the North-West Highlands with Joy to found their climbing and guiding enterprise, Moran Mountain. He made a dozen pioneering ascents in the Himalaya and climbed over a hundred new winter routes in Scotland. In May 2019, Martin tragically lost his life in the Himalaya while on a pioneering expedition with seven other climbers.
