The Solo Everest Dream of Maurice Wilson
Maurice Wilson, a 35 year old Bradford man, attempted Everest solo in 1934 bypassing Nepal and Tibet restrictions. After weeks of flights, disguises, and harsh ascent, he vanished on the North Col and was later found frozen at 22,000 feet, buried by a Tibetan blizzard and marked by Shipton as a silent, lone quest.
