Wilson doesn't know how to climb. He barely knows how to fly. But he has the right plane, the right equipment, and a deep yearning to achieve his goal. In 1933, he takes off from London in a Gipsy Moth biplane with his coure set for the highest mountain on earth. Wilson's eleven-month journey to Everest is wild: full of twists, turns, and daring. Eventually, in disguise, he sneaks into Tibet. His icy ordeal is just beginning. 538 $a Compact disc. 541 $d 20210209. 600 1 $a Wilson, Maurice, $d 1898-1934. 650 4 $a Air pilots $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 4 $a Mountaineering $z Everest, Mount (China and Nepal) $x History. 650 4 $a Mountaineers $z Great Britain $v Biography. 700 $a Langton, James, $e narrator. 941 $a 2 945 $a cdab 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015745.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20210302013953.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=85B79D127B2811EB8960C99555ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
