"Joe Tasker and Peter Boardman forged their climbing partnership during the 1970. Sadly, it came to a tragic end in 1982 during their attempt on the lower unclimbed section of Everest's Nort-East Ridge. They left behind a record of committing first ascents that inspired a new era of alpine-style attempts on the great Himalayan challenges. Each wrote two books that soon became required reading for all venturing to high altitude." -Inside front book flap.
