Description
Kangchenjunga: The Himalayan Giant is Doug Scott's final book, published in 2021. In this account, Scott explores the mountain and its people, delving into Western approaches and early climbing attempts. The third highest mountain in the world, Kangchenjunga was first climbed from the west in 1955 by a British team. It remained unclimbed for over twenty years before Doug Scott led a successful ascent from the north in 1979 with a team of experienced mountaineers. This expedition marked a significant achievement, as it was the first time a mountain of this scale had been attempted without oxygen and with minimal support. The book offers a unique insight into Kangchenjunga's history, culture, and climbing challenges, making it an interesting read for those interested in mountaineering and adventure.
