In 1985 two young British mountain climbers decided to attack the west face of the Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes.
The two young men, Joe Simpson aged 25 and Simon Yates aged 21, decided to climb one of the biggest mountain they had ever see and been on.
Simon and Joe didn’t know what was ahead of them. It would be one of the biggest trips of their life and they could die if not extremely careful. Their preparation both physical and mental would be the key to survival.
Along the way on the trip Joe and Simon came across another man and asked if he would come on the trip. This man knew nothing about Joe and Simon before they left.
The bloke that they picked up along the way was now at the base camp holding what little possessions they had
