he has written a book could "against the wall" (about attempting a first ascent on a big wall in Patagonia) , which is well worth a read!
" Simon came in for intense criticism from the mountaineering community for cutting the rope" Can anyone explain why?
I think when the climbing world heard Joe and Simons story about what happened there where lots of rumours being spread- This was the reason for Joe Simpson writing "touching the void", to tell people what realy happened. Cutting the rope which is stopping your climbing partner alive also a very controversial thing to do!!!
