The Boardman Tasker Omnibus

Savage Arena / The Shining Mountain / Sacred Summits / Everest The Cruel Way

Peter Boardman and Joe Tasker

Peter Boardman and Joe Tasker, who were lost on Everest in 1982, were at the forefront of Alpine and Himalayan climbing during the '70s and early '80s. Both were fine communicators and writers. This omnibus collects their books in which they describe some of the most dynamic climbs of the period. The Boardman / Tasker Literary Award, established in their memory, has become an established institution in furthering and celebrating the best of mountain writing. The history of the Award with lists of books entered and shortlisted, plus winners, judges, writers and publishers, is given in appendices.
