Touching the peak of the mountaineering accident famous for books and documentaries, climber Simon Yates tried to win Joe Simpson, a friend who was already injured in bad weather, the mountain protection station was wrong. Simpson can not finally climb on the cliff and can not climb him, Yeats can not lift him, loses his grip on the mountain, and finally cuts the rope to Simpson to save himself. Miraculously, Simpson survived a 100 - foot fall and eventually went down the mountain. However, Yates was criticized by some people as a decision of his survival, but that alternative would almost certainly lead to the death of both.
In 1985, two British climbers, Joe Simpson and Simon Yeats, began climbing Peru Andean 's 21,000 - foot Siwra Grande. They succeeded in promoting to the former West Wall, but when catastrophe happened Simpson slid down the ice cliffs, clumsy landing, broke the cheekbones for the knee joints and broke the right leg . Touching Nether is a book written by Simpson in 1988. The powerful and well-written story tells the full story of adventure, survival, isolation, trust and friendship.
Simon Yates climbed Siula Grande in 1985 with Joe Simpson and passed through the western side that has not climbed yet. As he gets down, Simpson goes through the mouth and breaks his right leg and heel. In order to keep on falling, Yates then used the rope to gradually lower Simpson to the mountain. And in bad weather, Yates dropped Simpson at the edge of the invisible cliff. This meant that it was hung on a rope just Simpson to prevent him from falling and maintaining a deep crack. In order to avoid getting off the mountain alone, Yeats cut off the rope. Simpson, therefore, fell about 50 feet into a crack. He survived in the autumn without knowing Yeats, he thought that he must have been killed. Simpson managed to get out of the crack and arrived at the base camp four days later.
Joe Simpson and Simon Yates climbed the Andes Mountains in Peru in 1985, and when they began to collapse, Simpson collapsed, was forced to leave and bend heavily. Then in the face of frostbite and dehydration, he had to walk across the mountain without using his feet. When asked why he made whatever it seemed completely impossible, he said that it is a simple spiritual trick. Everyday, he forgets his overall progress, but finds a point in the distance, shows the spirit and brings his daily challenge to this point. He did not overwhelm the mountain he thought he had to go down the mountain without feet; he focused on the short distance he had to settle in the next 12 hours. Everyday is the same - short, challenging but achievable goal. For him, this is a game.
