Description

Tied together by mutual trust, respect, long years of friendship – and a rope which is their only safeguard against death. This is how the two friends Joe Simpson and Simon Yates confront the greatest challenge of their lives.

Together, on the West Face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes, they leave behind the humdrum of everyday. They begin to know what life signifies – to glimpse the infinite…

But when Joe breaks his leg, and the rope which his partner is using to lower him down the precipitous slope jams – suddenly the slender thread which bonds them together becomes their greatest danger. Frostbitten and slowly freezing to death, one of them must summon his reserves of courage to make the most agonising decision of all.
