The Munros in Winter by Martin Moran
This is Martin Moran's account of his expedition to climb all the Munros in a single journey. Not only did he complete the trip and thereby become the first to do so in winter, but he also set a record for the fastest-ever completion of the Munros in any season. He describes the 1030 miles of walking and skiing, the 410,000ft of ascent and descent, the storms, snows and darkness of winter, and the terror of an avalanche and of scrambling down a mountain in pitch darkness and a howling gale. The book also gives practical advice on enjoying, and surviving, Britain's most challenging peaks, with a wealth of information on the technical problems presented by climbing and walking in winter conditions. Route-planning, preparation and back-up are also covered.Martin Moran makes a life in New York City as an actor and writer. Titanic, Cabaret, Bells Are Ringing, and Floyd Collins are just a few of the Broadway and Off-Broadway productions in which he has appeared. He won an Obie Award in 2004 for his one-man show The Tricky Part, which was commended by New York Times theatrical critic Ben Brantley for its quiet win in rendering turmoil with such clarity. Moran continues to tour the country with The Tricky Part.
