Touching the Void 3xcd
Description
A riveting, true-life story of adventure and survival in the Peruvian Andes.In June 1985, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, two young but experienced climbers, set out to ascend the unclimbed West Face of the remote 21,000ft Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. They managed to achieve the summit before disaster struck, leaving Simon Yates with an agonising decision to make - to cut the rope holding Joe or to die with him. A few days later Simon staggered into Base Camp, exhausted and frostbitten, to tell their non-climbing companion that Joe was dead. For three days he wrestled with guilt. Then a cry in the night woke them and they found Joe, badly injured, crawling through the snowstorm in a delirium. This incredible, true story of survival won both the NCR award and the Boardman Tasker Award.
