There are some monuments at Everest North Base Camp to commemorate those who died on Everest. A simple rock was inscribed “In Memory of Peter Boardman and Joe Tasker May 1982”, two of the finest British mountaineers of their time, who died on the second Pinnacle attempting to climb the Northeast Ridge. A black rock sitting on top of a small chorten stated “Marty Hoey 1957-1982”. Marty was the American climber whose waist harness came undone high on the North Face, and fell to her death. Lying upright next to the chorten was a beautifully carved piece of light coloured rock, brought by Marty’s mother to commemorate her life amongst the mountains. Mark Jennings died coming down from the summit on May 25, 1998.
