Books > Biography > General
Des Rubens was a well known and greatly admired Scottish climber.
He graduated from Edinburgh University in 1973 and was a teacher of
Outdoor Education in Craigroyston School Edinburgh from 1979 until
retirement in 2011. Des kept diaries of his walks and climbs all
over Scotland and wrote accounts of his climbs in the Himalaya, the
Caucasus and the United States. This collection of his writings and
those of his companions conveys, with a dry wit, his great
enthusiasm for the Scottish hills and for all aspects of
mountaineering in the greater ranges. Geoff Cohen, who has edited
the collection, was one of Des' closest climbing partners for over
40 years. Together they shared many of the adventures recounted
here, in Scotland and overseas.
