    Joe, you're being too modest. Sit back and enjoy this recognition because you deserve it.

  • HES A REAL MAN WITH ENDLESS INNER STRENGTH ,OLYMPIAN LIKE! WHY BOTHER FOR BEING SEEN AS A CELEBRITY, IN A TIME AND AGE WHERE EVERYBODY CAN MAKE THE NEWS FOR NOTHING?? HES A REAL HERO , NOT IMBECILE CELEBRITY OBSSESED!

  • You can follow Joe Simpson on Twitter (TouchingTheVoid) and see him talking about his experiences on noordinaryjoeDOTcom.

  • Joe is an inspiration.

    I love his books, his philosophy and his zero bullshit style.

  • god bless this man (lol im not even religous but i didn't know how else to describe my admiration)

  • Question for everestlad; what mountains have you climbed, by which routes and on which faces? Would love to know. Seems the bitchiest mountaineers are the ones who struggle up their own staircases. ;)

  • "read the book if you are literate enough" Your grammar is so bad, and you have the nerve to make a comment about being literate. LOL.

  • Well i think you need to look in the mirror mate as you are payying as much attention to slagging me off as i did Joe Simpson! As for your comment before, you clearly have no concept of YT because i exercised my right to freedom of speech and opinion, and never once slagged either the person that posted the comment, or any other of the people related to commenting...... YOU DID! I happened to give info regarding circumstances that are fact on the vid, nothing else, get a life..... see a shrink!

  • Wits apart, it's plainly evident by reading your nasty comments about Joe Simpson that you're really just a very insecure person .I actually feel sorry for you.

    You could use that same energy in some deep introspection and resolve your issues. take care though, you may not like what you see.

  • LOL! sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

  • Hey you know what? each one's entitled to their own opinions and your "conspiracy theory" seems quite believable. Why not go all out ,re-enact it and call it 'smashing up my leg and starving myself to near death is my idea of fun.'
