The Boardman Tasker Omnibus: Savage Arena, the Shining Mountain, Sacred Summits, Everest the Cruel Way
This volume combines two Boardman titles?The Shining Mountain (1982) and Sacred Summits (1982)?with two of Tasker's?Savage Arena (1982) and Everest the Cruel Way (1980)?all out of print. The two men gained fame for several daring ascents of Mt. Everest, the last of which cost both of them their lives. LJ's reviewer praised Savage Arena for relating why climbers feel the "price is worth paying" for reaching the top (LJ 11/15/82).Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
