Everest the Cruel Way Tasker Joe
On 30 January 1981 Joe Tasker and Ade Burgess stood at 24,000 feet on the West Ridge of Mount Everest. Further progress seemed impossible.Everest the Cruel Way is Joe Tasker's story of an attempt to climb the highest mountain on earth - an attempt which pushed a group of Britain's finest mountaineers to their limits. Below them were their companions, some exhausted, some crippled by illness, all virtually incapacitated.
Tasker's epic account vividly describes experiences that no climber had previously endured. The goal had been to climb Mount Everest at its hardest: via the infamous West Ridge, without supplementary oxygen and in winter. Close up and personal, it is a gripping account of day-to-day life on expedition and of the struggle to live at high altitude.Joe
