Portrait of Loss on Everest by Maria Coffey |
This is the story of Maria's relationship with the world-class mountaineer Joe Tasker, and her coming to terms with his death on the Northeast Ridge of Everest. She relives her experiences, first within the hard-partying mountaineer scene and then during her long journey to understanding and acceptance of the tragedy that cost her the man she loved. She gives an insider's view of the life of an extreme mountaineer and recounts her deeply moving pilgrimage after his death, across Tibet and up 21,000 feet to Advance Base Camp on the north side of the mountain. The book is the clear-eyed account of a difficult love affair and a vivid chronicle of a symbolic journey that was by turns painful, magical and healing. |
