Wilfrid Noyce (1917 – 1962) was an English mountaineer and
author.
By the age of eighteen, Noyce was already a fine climber,
from 1935 he was regularly climbing with John Menlove
Edwards of Liverpool, the author of this book, whom he had a relationship with
for many years.
Before the Second World War, he helped Edwards to produce
rock climbing guides to the crags of Tryfan and Lliwedd in Snowdonia. Like
other leading British climbers of the prewar period, such as Mallory, Jack
Longland, Ivan Waller and A. B. Hargreaves, Noyce became a protégé of Geoffrey
Winthrop Young, attending his parties at Pen-y-Pass.
He was a member of the 1953 British Expedition that made the
first ascent of Mount Everest.
