The film was premiered on the Banff Mountain Film Festival UK tour[8] and has won 7 international film awards.[9] Moffat is included in Herrington's photographic work The Climbers[10][11] featuring 60 climbers considered legends of the 20th century. In 2017 Moffat contributed to a documentary Give Me Space Below My Feet for BBC Radio 3.[12] Writing careerMoffat began her writing career in the 1950s working for BBC radio, and published her autobiography in 1961.[3] In the 1970s she started to write crime fiction, in particular the Miss Pink series featuring Melinda Pink, a middle aged magistrate and climber.[13][14] Following a commission by Gollancz to follow the California Trail[15] and produce a book, she subsequently wrote 11 mysteries set in the American West.[22] Her last novel Gone Feral was written when she was in her 80s and Moffat currently reviews for the crime magazine Shots.[16] Personal lifeMoffat married Gordon Moffat with whom she had a daughter, Sheena born in 1949. In 1955 Moffat married Flight Sergeant John Lees and they divorced in 1970.[17][6] Works
