Award Winner 2018
Boardman Tasker Award for Mountain Literature 2018
On November 16th the 2018 Boardman Tasker Award for Mountain Literature was awarded to David Roberts for his book Limits of the Known.
In his book the author explores how own lifelong commitment to adventuring, as well as the cultural contribution of explorers throughout history. The judges commented that the book is literary in the best sense of the word, at least as they defined it——elegant and lucid, rather than flowery and quasi-poetic.
