A transvestite on Everest?

High times.
This Colorado-based bookstore specializes in mountaineering and outdoor titles, and its current sale offers deep discounts. Among the sale books: “Yorkshire Transvestite Found Dead on Everest,” by saucy Great Outdoors columnist Mike Harding. The title references Maurice Wilson’s unsuccessful 1934 Everest summit trip, and rumors that climbers who found his body also found women’s lingerie in his possession.
