Touching the Void

October 3, 2010 by DaveLeave a Comment

touching-void Touching the Void by Joe Simpson In our opinion, this is probably the most amazing mountaineering survival story of all time. Two climbers set out to climb a 6,000+ meter peak in the Cordillera Huayash range in the heart of the Peruvian Andes.

An accident befalls one of the climbers and his partner makes a life or death choice. We’ve climbed a number of times in this part of the Andes – these are some of the most spectacular mountains in the world!
