Description:

Back in 1985, Simon Yates and his climbing companion Joe Simpson had become the first pair to successfully summit the west face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. But after reaching the top and preparing for the descent, it was then that things started to go badly wrong. Joe fell, breaking his leg, and in a desperate attempt to get them both down, Simon was faced with a horrible decision. Here he describes the events that were later told through the perspective of Joe in the gripping book and documentary, Touching the Void
