In a statement issued on behalf of Dr Mosley’s wife, Clare Bailey Mosley, she expressed her profound grief and shared touching memories of her husband.
Mrs Mosley also revealed that he collapsed after taking the wrong route. “We’re taking comfort in the fact that he so very nearly made it. He did an incredible climb, took the wrong route and collapsed where he couldn’t be easily seen by the extensive search team,” she explained.
“I don’t know quite where to begin with this. It’s devastating to have lost Michael, my wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant husband. We had an incredibly lucky life together. We loved each other very much and were so happy together,” she said.
