Tocando el vacío

Climber Joe Simpson, describes one of the most extraordinary true stories of adventure and survival of our time. The book recounts a climb Simpson and climbing partner, Simon Yates, undertook in the Peruvian Andes in 1985. The two young and ambitious mountaineers set off to scale the unclimbed west face of Siula Grande, a remote and treacherous 21,000 ft peak. However, as they began their descent through a blizzard, Simpson fell, shattering his leg, and an hectic battle for survival unfolded in which both men make life or death decisions. Simpson and Yates return to Siula Grande together for the first time to retell their story for the camera. (Pathé Distribution UK)
