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

RIP Doug. May your adventures continue in another world.

Doug was a very generous man. He and his wife were very supportive of our student expedition back in 1980. As a fellow ‘Nottinghamer’ he was my hero!

Wasn't supportive of the camp site in Wales where he didn't pay when I went there with him 😂

One of the greats without a doubt , met him in the Kingshouse many many years ago , still have a signed poster of a climb, says a lot for him that he was a tad embarrassed signing it .

@allybally0021 5 лет назад

Im not embarressed to give you a signed picture of me summiting Cleeve Hill. Over 1,000 feet high in the death zone of the Cotswolds. It was hell.

doug scott came to new paltz ny in the mid 90's for a slide show and q and a session. the place was packed. i am for of a rock climber but this guy i totally respected. he was the man back in the day. i have a signed copy of his himalayan climber book

@vindolanda6974 7 лет назад

Read the Ogre account on Bonington's book. Scott was an absolute beast and the reason they reached the summit.

@slainegwalchmai 4 года назад

Great man, met him at a book signing lecture for Himalayan Climber and he exuded a quiet, calm power. So self-effacing given his achievements. I hope he cracks on a good bit longer.

@joanthoine7622 9 лет назад

There were two other people on the Ogre - not mentioned here. Clive and Mo. Expected but disappointing to not hear anything about them.

@HarryFlashmanVC 3 года назад

I think its a highly edited clip... not to demean those others who rescued him off the Ogre.. the important thing is to hook people's interest, they can then pick up the story in more detail. There's a good account of the epic in Bonington's latest autobiography, Ascent

@Justicia007 3 года назад

Amazing man. This incident happened during the Bonington expedition in 75. Really nice to read the words of Chris Bonington about his friend at his passing: www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/18926513.chris-boningtons-tribute-legendary-climber-doug-scot/

Doug has been more of an inspiration and to more people, worldwide, than he will ever know. And don't you get the feeling he wouldn't want to know it, anyway?

I realize this is about the Scott / Bonington ascent of Everest , but I must ask if anyone made an ascent of Everest strictly via the Kangshung face without crossing over to the south col route ?

@happydays2300 Год назад

I'd go ask "Rock and Ice," the magazine, is what I'd do.

@82566 3 года назад

Was this gentleman one of the two climbers that experienced the alleged apparition of Sandy Irvine that helped them through a stormy bad night caught in the danger zone ? If not I apologize just fascinated as to these sort of experiences told about Everest as there are unfortunately a number of dead bodies & the possibility of encounter is probable in my opinion.

@ericastier1646 2 года назад

There surely is no way to honestly dismiss that this could exist and happen, only beliefs one way or the other. I have myself one of the most outrageous theory of what happened to Sandy Irvine. After having a quarrel with G Mallory about no longer willing to put his life on the line to make the summit, they fought - with ice axes - it killed Mallory, which explains the hole in his skulls better than the ice axe accidentally striking him in a fall. Irvine went down the mountain on a different route and died in anonymity in Borneo a few decades later. Which is why his body was never found on Everest and also why his axes was found far away from Mallory's body after he discarded it as it was the weapon used.

Yeah, my mum worked with Don's missus for a firm in Manchester... a company who made rubber stamps. She became quite friendly with both of them. My mum and dad are both from tough working class backgrounds and were cut from the same cloth as Don. Yeah, Salford was and still is a tough area. Can't wait to read the book about Don, 'The Villain'. Thinking of getting a copy for my mum for Christmas actually. Thanks for the reply.

I wish some one could contact me as I have been looking after Doug's Car and whats left of his property here in Bulgaria as the Locals ransacked his house to an empty shell. I have collected up some bits and Bobs that belonged to them and keeping them in my Store Room. I have on several occasions had to chase Bulgarian Thieves away on so many occasions taking bits they've nicked away from them with a fight as well. I met Doug in 2010 here at my house in General Kiselovo and became good friends. Please can some one with a 'smidgen' of concern contact me ! ( Oh, and the local Bulgarian police are not interested in this case as I tried to report the thieving several times to them )

i can't believe the way you survived!!!!

@goognamgoognw6637 5 лет назад

Someone explain to me why i keep being drawn to moutaineering stories and videos. I cannot find a rational explanation. These mountains have a real pull i can feel it and i am no mountaineer.

@Lisnageeragh 4 года назад

Get out there an start small....pick your comrades carefully...best of luck.

@Lisnageeragh 4 года назад

Get out there in the rain and cold ...enjoy the good days ..start small, choose your companions carefully....come home alive.

I think she passed a few years ago but dont take my word for it, I remember my gran taking me up to wales to see her many years ago. And from what my mam tells me he was as witty as they came i mean the guy was raised in lower broughton not sure if your familiar with it but you had to be hard to live there.

@danmaltby3271 7 лет назад

My hero, total bad ass

@johnhenryoliver1 3 года назад

What a role model RIP

@jodylowe8476 2 года назад

Compare this guy to the cattle drive every year where hundreds of inexperienced Facebook posters are corralled up everest. The reason he survived that night up high on everest is because he was incredibly experienced by the time he got to everest, unlike the drones climbing it today.

@GhibliFan1 12 лет назад

Don and his wife were old friends of my mum's... my mum was still swapping Christmas cards with Don's wife till some years ago. Don't suppose you know if she's still alive? She ran a guest house or something in the lakes if I remember correctly. I hope so. Yeah, he was a real one-off I'm told. A real working class hero who played the middle class and privileged at their own game... and won. :)

@TheEndBosko 13 лет назад

Can you find what you're missing on a mountain?

@charlesw9875 6 лет назад

You can find it anywhere.

@happydays2300 Год назад

Oh yes. But, as my Dad once said, "You can't eat scenery."

@quovadis7119 5 лет назад

Legend.

Right at the (sad) end of his bio, The Villain, right now. So I'm guessing Jim Perrin is not popular in your household?

@ericastier1646 2 года назад

I am quite fluent in english and rarely come across someone i can't understand, but this is one such instance. By comparison Chris Bonnington is so clearly outspoken but here this guy just spouts out detached words in one syllabes sounds, one of the worst way to speak english.

@happydays2300 Год назад

Yep. There are so many accents in English, it's just amazing. I really had to pay attention myself. This is what I call a "real" English accent, but I am an American, so I think like that.
