Very interesting story of a guy who tried to climb everest solo.
Very interesting story of a guy who tried to climb everest solo.
This is the little known story of Maurice Wilson, a World War I vet who got the insane idea to fly a small biplane to the base of Mt. Everest and climb to the summit on his own, with almost no serious mountain climbing skills or equipment. The astonishing thing is how far he actually made it toward his goal. The guy is a footnote to the history of climbers of Everest, but the man is a fascinating combo of courage, naïveté and determination.
