• 024: Maurice Wilson: One Man, One Mountain, One Wild Plan

  In this episode of Strap Yer Boots, we dive into the unbelievable true story of Maurice Wilson — World War I veteran, spiritual seeker, and the man who hatched one of the most bizarre plans in mountaineering history. Inspired by faith, fasting, and a second-hand biplane, Wilson set out in the 1930s to conquer Mount Everest entirely alone, with almost no climbing experience.Drawing from Ed Caesar’s riveting book The Moth and the Mountain, we trace Wilson’s journey from the skies of England to the frozen slopes of the Himalayas — a tale of obsession, idealism, and the human spirit pushed to its breaking point. Instagram @strapyerbootsWebsite strapyerboots.comContact [email protected]
