520    "It's a preposterous plan. Still, if you do get up it, 
       it'll be the hardest thing that's been done in the 
       Himalayas." Thus spoke Chris Bonington when Peter Boardman
       and Joe Tasker presented him with their plan to tackle the
       unscaled West Wall of Changabang the Shining Mountain-in 
       1976. Bonington's was one of the more positive responses; 
       most felt the climb impossibly hard, especially for a two-
       man, lightweight expedition. This was, after all, perhaps 
       the most fearsome and technically challenging granite wall
       in the Garhwal Himalaya, and an ascent particularly one in
       a lightweight style would be more significant than 
       anything done on the Everest at the time. The idea had 
       been Joe Tasker's. He had photographed the sheer, shining 
       white granite sweep of Changabang's west wall on a 
       previous expedition and asked Pete to return with him the 
       following year. Tasker contributes a second voice 
       throughout Boardman's story, which starts with 
       acclimatization, sleeping in a Salford frozen food store, 
       and progresses through three nights of hell, marooned in 
       hammocks during a storm, to moments of exultation at the 
       variety and intricacy of the superb, if punishingly 
       difficult, climbing. It is a story of how climbing a 
       mountain can become an all-consuming goal, of the tensions
       inevitable in 40 days of isolation on a two-man expedition,
       as well as a record of the moment of joy upon reaching the
       summit ridge against all odds. First published in 1978, 
       The Shining Mountain is Peter Boardman's first book. It is
       a very personal and honest story that is also amusing, 
       lucidly descriptive, very exciting, and never anything but
       immensely listenable. It was awarded the John Llewelyn 
       Rhys Prize for literature in 1979, winning wide acclaim. 
       His second book Sacred Summits was published shortly after
       his death in 1982.
