My Mountain Life by Simon Yates

Simon Yates of Touching the Void presents 'My Mountain Life' in NEWTON ABBOT on 19th September, 7.30pm at Abbotsbury Church.

On the remote Siula Grande in Peru in June 1985, mountaineer Simon Yates found himself in a desperately unenviable position - slowly being pulled off the mountainside by his injured partner, Joe Simpson, dangling on the rope 50m below. His decision to cut the rope saved both their lives in an epic of survival. With the publication of the book 'Touching the Void', later film and stage play, both climbers became household names.
Come along and witness Simon's tireless journey from that mountain in Peru to some of the remotest on the planet and share with him the drama, excitement and beauty of modern, lightweight alpinism. Told with wit and lavishly illustrated with images and film collected on his great climbs.
