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 course 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."--Amazon.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.52209 Wilson Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.52209 Wilson Ca Checked In Add Copy to MyList
