Anybody have any theories as to what Maurice Wilson was wearing when Tilman, Shipton, and Warren found his body in 1935?

That's not exactly what I was talking about Fat.

There were rumors of women's clothing.

Actually something like tights might have been a good first layer of clothing for warmth back then.

And a corset? It may have its uses in high altitude mountaineering. Don't ask me what though.


But if they found a bra on him, then that's another thing.

The Millman article said bra and panties.
