Touching the Void tells a chilling drama experienced by two young mountaineers during a climb in the Andes. The story is real and tells the experiences of Joe Simpson. The intensity of the story exceeds what most fiction authors would dare to invent. This book is an intense story of survival and friendship in extreme conditions.
Joe Simpson is a British mountaineer, author, and motivational speaker. While climbing in Peru in 1985, he suffered severe injuries and was assumed dead by his climbing companion Simon Yates after falling into a crevasse, but he survived and managed to crawl back to his base camp. He described the ordeal in his 1988 book Touching the Void, which has been adapted into a 2003 documentary film and a 2018 stage play, both of the same name.
