An amazing and skilled climber that was an inspiration to others. Deepest condolences to the Scott family, so sorry for your loss.

Doug was my Geography teacher at Cottesmore and sparked the interest in climbing in Derbyshire during my teen years,I followed most of his climbing achievements over the years and still have a framed signed poster of Doug standing on top of Mount Everest,He was also a friend of my late Brother Phil who was also a good climber.Doug's work for the local people in the Himalayas i'm sure will go on, he was a great human being and may he Rest in Peace.

You gave me great inspiration Doug. I used the determination I saw in you and your expeditions. My expedition wasn’t climbing but construction which gave me great success.
Thanks for showing me the right direction and for the privilege of having you as a great teacher at Cottesmore school between 1963 and 1966.
It’s time to rest now Doug! Thanks for the knowledge.
