She hitch-hiked her way around, travelling from Skye to Chamonix and many places in between, with all her possessions on her back, although these amounted to little more than a rope and a sleeping bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the money ran out, she worked as a forester, went winkle-picking on the Isle of Skye, acted as the helmsman of a schooner and did a stint as an artist's model. And always there were the mountains, drawing her away from a 'proper' job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout this unique story, there are acutely observed accounts of mountaineering exploits as Moffat tackles the toughest climbs and goes on to become Britain's leading female climber - and the first woman to qualify as a mountain guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46435025682673,"sku":"9781780226330","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781780226330_p0.jpg?v=1765543306","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781780226330","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
