	Touching the Void  •  Joe Simpson BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR •  2004 •  PAPER  • 218 PAGES The harrowing tale of a climb gone badly wrong and Simpson's near miraculous survival in the Andes. Dedicated to Simon Yates ("for a debt I can never repay"), Simpson recounts his 3-day ordeal after being cut loose by his climbing partner on the face of a glacier and dropping into a crevasse. Neither men thought he would survive. Yates had been lowering his crippled partner down the mountain, when he had to make the choice of cutting him lose or dying with him. More than a tale of adventure and survival, the book has a psychological impact -- and now it has been made into a film, which interweaves interviews of Simpson and Yates with a reenactment.
