Touching the Void 1 of 12

Ok. This story is legendary, and absolutely not a myth in any way. Let me be clear; you have NEVER been in this situation. You have NEVER climbed anything remotely as difficult as this. And you have apparently NEVER done much difficult climbing in general, as you would 'assume' a complete stranger would know how to pass a knot. That is not only stupid, it sets a very dangerous precedent for everyone involved. Good luck at the crags, you are going to NEED IT.

ItsMeForAllYouKnow - so sorry for you man. You must have some difficulty with your personality, complexes or whatever... Hope you'll find good specialist to help you. Good luck!

joe n simon are great friends and both would have done the same things.
the climbing community were wrong for
making simon a judas.

why do they have to ad stupid music? im not impreshinable it dosnt make it more suspensfull

learn how to use the dictionary, friend

shut up fag u think i fukin care

clearly not LOL

As a non-climber I found some of the other methods you describe hard to follow but this one ("body belay") I get. I think I have to take your point. Do you think the many hours that Simon spent lowering the injured climber resulted in exhaustion that meant that he could no longer problem solve? Joe is very magnanimous about the situation Simon found himself in, all the same. Then again, it is said that they no longer have anything to do with each other.

I'm not a climber at all so I didn't really follow your other descriptions of options available to Simon, but this one ("#6") I do get. I think you've proved your point, which is that, despite the fact that we would like to believe otherwise, Simon merely "lost his head" and in so doing nearly killed his climbing mate?

you didnt read the book you tard. joe always defended simon
