Reviews
‘The winter completion of the Munros in a single push was not only a tremendous team effort but also Martin and Joy’s great love story. It was an amazing Odyssey and The Munros in Winter is a superb account. Between its quality of writing and honesty, and Martin’s delightful touches of humour, no wonder it has provided inspiration to so many people over the years.‘ -- Sir Chris Bonington ‘The first and finest account of climbing Scotland’s winter mountains, the greatest challenge our hills have to offer.’ -- Cameron McNeish

Author Information
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. Joy continues to run Moran Mountain with their two grown-up children, Alex and Hazel.
