	Anomalies Article: Boardman and Tasker's Yeti Encounter
		On September 17, 1977, British mountaineer Pete Boardman and his friend Joe Tasker were camped 17,000 feet up Mount Changabang, Garhwal Himilayas (on the western edge of Nepal), when they heard a large creature crash about through their campsite.
		Boardman, "...with whom I went to school and so can attest to his integrity." It does not seem unreasonable to point out that she may be a bit biased as to the veracity of this account.
		Boardman himself only suggests a Yeti as a passing joke, and clearly states that the prints appear to belong to something four-legged.

		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.
		Boardman was the "superstar", having climbed Everest's South-West Face the previous year, but he clealry felt like a bit of an impostor, and had greater admiration for Tasker's earthier, less well-known but more radical achievements.

	As I was going to St Ives: from the shrine of St Peter
		Jonathan Boardman, chaplain of All Saints, the Anglican church in Rome, gave us a tour of some of the principal works in the museum, and talked about the paintings in the Sistine Chapel.
		Here we see Peter and Paul as the strong men of Christ, sporting their perfect, resurrected, bodies (or at least, as Jonathan later noted, perfect in the eyes of Michelangelo; we might not all envisage our perfected bodies as those of East German athletes!).
		Here it is possible to forget the grandeur that is just a few feet over your head, and to recover a simple spirituality, and the simple message at the heart of what Christians believe, and to which Christians down the ages have borne witness.

		I've read "Fragile Edge" by Maria Coffey, (it is excellent, she was Tasker's girlfriend)about her and Hillary Boardman's experiences following the deaths of Boardman and Tasker, and wasn't prepared for the emotional impact of this book.
		Boardman's style gripped me, and brought home what a terrible tragedy his death was for the literary community.
		I believe there are "writing climbers" and "climbing writers"; Boardman was definitely a gifted climber who wrote beautifully.

		Renshaw had to retire when he suffered a mild stroke (diagnosed by Charles Clarke, the expedition's doctor) and Bonington decided that as he was moving so much slower than either Boardman or Tasker at high altitude, they should go for the top on their own.
		Tragically they both disappeared on what Bonington described as 'the happiest expedition any of us had been on' and it was abandoned.
