	Tasker, Joe (1948-1982)
		Tasker teamed up with Pete Boardman shortly afterwards to push the standards of technical rock climbing at altitude on Changabang in the Indian Garhwal and thence entered the spiral of constant expeditioning.
		The big differences in personality (Boardman the diffident, well spoken English Lit graduate, Tasker the intense abrasive craftsman), did not prevent the partnership becoming triumphant and the pattern was set for a whole series of expeditions to the high places of the earth, including K2, Kangchenjunga, and Mt Kongur in China.
		Standout climbs: Tasker: 1st British ascents of North Face of Dent Blanche; Bonatti-Gobbi Route, Eckpfeiler Buttress, Mont Blanc; East Face of the Grandes Jorasses; 1st British winter ascent of Eiger, South Face Dunagiri, Indian Garhwal (all with Dick Renshaw).

		Joe Simpson is speaking at Kendal Mountain Film Festival on Saturday the 17th November at 930 am.
		The book that made him successful in the publishing side of mountaineering, and led to a whole lot more, was a best seller called 'Touching the Void' and was in Joe's words a story about an incredible mountaineering cock-up, something that he's perhaps not that proud of.

		The provision would put more of a burden on companies to avoid foreign-made components, which can be difficult to do, said Joe Tasker, senior vice president for government affairs and general counsel at the Information Technology Association of America.
		Suggested changes that Tasker has seen are no more tenable than the existing legislation, he said.
		For example, one proposal was to rely on existing data sources to ascertain the origin of components in computers and other devices.

	Confine incerto
		Il 15 maggio del 2002 saranno trascorsi vent'anni dalla morte di Joe Tasker e Peter Boardman, tra i più forti alpinisti inglesi.
		Racconta che, all'inizio, al sorgere di quel legame, tentava di contrastare, quasi di opporsi, a quei sentimenti, consapevole che la relazione con un alpinista di quel livello l'avrebbe trascinata in una vita molto dura, fatta di grande dinamismo e felicità ma anche di lunghe e angoscianti attese mentre il suo uomo era in spedizione.
		E' una testimonianza importante che ci descrive un Joe Tasker nuovo e diverso rispetto agli altri libri scritti su di lui.

		From the beginning I knew that Joe Tasker, her lover and well-known British mountain-climber, had died in a climbing accident on Everest and that this had affected her deeply.
		In Joe Tasker's own words, "I sometimes wonder why I can't be content with Sunday rock climbs." The fatality rate among high-altitude mountaineers is supposedly one in ten.
		At the time she was in the throes of an intense love affair with Joe Trasker, the British climber who perished in 1982 with his regular climbing partner, Peter Boardman, while attempting to climb the then unclimbed Northeast ridge of Everest.

		Tasker's accounts tend to be much more straight accounts (especially in his earlier books), while Boardman's have more analysis (and also more technical description) but both styles are easy to read and manage to paint a picture of what they're doing to someone like me, with absolutely no knowledge of the sport at all.
		Boardman and Tasker, for me, hold more fascination even than Mallory and Irvine, and you get a very full picture of both of them by seeing them both through their own eyes and through the eyes of the other.
		It is far from clear that they knew their limits, and there is an almost tragic element to Tasker's description of the second failed attempt to climb K2, in 1980.

		One could also ask, if the two Joes had been born into atheist families but received the same encouragement and inspiration from teachers and mountaineering literature, would they have taken up mountaineering.
		His parents were bitterly disappointed; their Joe had been the oldest, the golden boy.

	FACING A VERTICAL DESERT - New York Times
		Their climb of this vertical desert of rock and ice, a mile high from advance camp to summit, was and still may be the hardest technical climb done in the Himalayas, employing every climbing stratagem and technique at oxygen-deficient altitudes well above those of the loftiest Alps.
		Even while they staked their lives on each other, Tasker jibed at Boardman's much-publicized ascent of Mt. Everest with a large expedition the year before, and Boardman, suspecting that his teammate was the better climber, resented his ability to fall asleep in the most precarious bivouacs.
		The skill of Peter Boardman and Joe Tasker in treading the fine line that separates ''the difficult from the dangerous,'' as the author puts it, provided a tragic epilogue to this book, which first appeared to critical acclaim in Britain four years ago.

		Tasker objected to the antitrust exemption because a buyers' group could hamper innovation in IT products by having customers, not vendors, setting the standards.
		The procurement subgroup, of which Tasker was a member, came up with the proposal for buying groups.
		If security configurations are built into procurement, it may be difficult for government agencies to later change their security configurations when better alternatives are available, and federal agencies could copy each other's configurations, instead of deciding what's best in each agency, Tasker said.
