A diary style account of the 1982 attempt on the as-yet unclimbed North East Ridge of Everest. This included the tragic loss of Joe Tasker and Peter Boardman, which came as such a stunning blow at the time. Typical Bonington writing, full of self doubts and all the aggravation. You feel, in a way, as though you were there witnessing it all, suffering with the team..... nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Adrenaline Classics continues to bring to the fore the work of the father of modern mountaineering, the celebrated climber and writer, Sir Chris Bonington. Everest--The Unclimbed Ridge is a genuine classic of Everest literature, a book that series editor Clint Willis calls "the real climber's Into Thin Air." Bonington and coauthor Charles Clarke tell the story of Bonington's most tragic expedition--a bold attempt on the fearsome Northeast Ridge of Everest. This is the expedition that killed two of Bonington's closest friends--two young men who were part of mountaineering's greatest generation; Joe Tasker and Peter Boardman set out one morning and never made it back. With 24 black-and-white photos and spectacular, edge-of-your-seat climbing, the book offers some of the most moving and powerful moments in modern mountaineering writing. "This was an epic, groundbreaking ascent by one of the most talented teams ever to hit the Himalaya."--Stephen Venables (author of Everest: Alone at the Summit) Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

As I read this book, I really wanted to do some online research about the Northeast Ridge. I forced myself to finish the book first so as not to give myself any spoilers. I think it's worth reading, at least, the Wikipedia article on the Three Pinnacles, which gives a little bit of closure to at least one of the members of their 1982 Everest attempt. (
