Description:
1985, two young and talented British climbers set out to tame the unconquered west face of Siula Grande, a remote, twenty-one-thousand-foot peak in the Peruvian Andes. Two-and-a-half days after tiptoeing up near-vertical ice fields, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates reached the summit. Little did they know their epic was only beginning. What ensued is one of the most gripping survival stories in mountain history.
