Mons Graupius

Moira Fiorelli an upper-middle class girl in post-war Edinburgh yearns to become a mountaineer-an awkward choice at a time when there are very few women climbers. Entering this machismo universe she encounters prejudice not because she is of Italian descent not even because she is a woman but because she is an inveterate snob. On her route to her summits she faces the ups and downs of romance falling precipitously and disastrously for the most unsuitable man possible.
