Description:
Before there was Into Thin Air, there was Touching the Void, an unforgettable true story of courage and survival. While climbing in the Andes mountains, Joe Simpson and his partner, Simon Yates, had just scaled a 21,000-foot summit when Simpson slipped from a vertical wall of ice, disappearing into the vast frozen heart of a glacier. Devastated, and assuming Simpson to be dead, Yates returned to base camp.

But Joe Simpson was alive. Frostbitten, his leg shattered from the fall, he somehow managed to find the strength to crawl back into camp, arriving mere hours before Yates had planned to leave. Vivid, terrifying, and utterly inspiring, Touching the Void will appeal to anyone with a love of adventure and a belief in the power of the human spirit.
-- The success of Into Thin Air and The Perfect Storm proves there is a vast audience for quality outdoor adventure titles.
-- Reissued to coincide with the paperback release of Into Thin Air.
