Writing
Boardman's book about the 1976 Changabang expedition, The Shining Mountain, is one of the outstanding works of mountaineering literature, and won the 1979 John Llewellyn Rhys Prize for literature. A second book, Sacred Summits, detailing his climbing exploits in 1979 on Carstenz Pyramid, Kangchenjunga and Gauri Sankar, was published posthumously.
In 1995, these books, along with those of Joe Tasker, were republished in the Boardman Tasker Omnibus.
