Hardcover. 174 p. Endpaper map. Illustrations (some in color). Glossary. Foreword by Chris Bonington. This is a harrowing first person account of one man's miraculous survival. This is the true story of friends Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, two experienced mountain climbers who met tragedy and triumph in the Andes. At the 21, 000-foot peak of the mountain, Joe Simpson slipped and fell off an ice ledge, breaking his leg in the process. Although Simon Yates struggled to save Simpson, a harsh blizzard, and the fact that his own life was in grave peril, forced him to leave Simpson behind and make his own way back to base camp. This stirring account then tells of how Simpson managed to survive and make it back to his base camp, despite suffering from not only a broken leg, but also frostbite and starvation.
