Touching the Void
Joe Simpson
Joe Simpson, with just his partner Simon Yates, tackled the unclimbed West Face of the remote 21,000 foot Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in June 1995. But before they reached the summit, disaster struck. A few days later, Simon staggered into Base Camp, exhausted and frostbitten, to tell their non-climbing companion that Joe was dead.

Posted by ambrosia (1 year ago ) This was given to me by my son, the climber!!
Despite that it is an amazing tale of human endurance.
