[edit] Body found?
I believe it is a mistake in the article to say Joe Tasker's body was found. To my knowledge, the body of Peter Boardman was found, but not that of Joe Tasker. Lochduich 15:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- I added a {{fact}} tag as this statement needs to be verified, otherwise it should be removed. I never heard that his body had been found either. ww2censor 15:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

- Lochduich is correct. The reference seems to be from a report in the Sunday Times on 20 October 1996 titled 'Body of lost climber found on Everest'. I think the definitive reference would be Chris Bonington’s 2002 book Chris Bonington's Everest. Of this sighting, he said: "At first it was surmised that this was Joe Tasker, but after carefully comparing the written descriptions and the photographs provided by each expedition, I became convinced that this was the same as the original sighting and therefore that of Pete." --Lacewing 05:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
