Touching the Void by Joe Simpson

Touching the Void by Joe Simpson



This story is really confusing to me because  Simpson fell from a cliff and broke his right leg.  After that when they tied up two ropes together and then Simon Yates had to cut the rope to save his life, however risking Simpsons life. When he  cut the rope the next day he thought that Simpson was dead. Simpson fell 150 feet and survived the fall He noticed that the rope was cut so thats the reason to why he fell. He couldn't climb up any longer since of the leg that was injured so he climbed down. He stayed three days without water or food. After he climbed down to the starting position where his was waiting for their arrival.
After some days following my understanding is that Simon Yates came back. This book made my nervous since you see it the way that the person saw it so he describes it the way he wants (sometimes it is only   80 % of truth since again he makes us see it the way he wants not how we want).
