Join Daniel Darkens and Nina Bickerton as they take you through the life and adventures of Maurice Wilson in this first ever episode of The Obscure podcast.
Every episode will pluck another interesting character out of the obscure and into the limelight.
Maurice's is a tragic tale, but includes incredible bravery and ambition. Most of the information for the episode is taken from his two biographies:
I'll Climb Mount Everest Alone by Dennis Roberts (published 1957)
The Moth and the Mountatin by Ed Caesar (published 2020)
both are highly recommended for an even deeper dive.
