Mit 'Sturz ins Leere' ('Touching the Void') legte der Schriftsteller und Alpinist Joe Simpson den aufwühlenden Bericht seines Überlebenskampfs in den Anden vor. Es gehört zu der Handvoll Bücher, die weit über die Bergsteigerszene hinaus packen und bewegen- mit lebenslanger Schuld und der Willenskraft eines Todgeweihten. Jetzt greift Simpson diese traumatische Grenzerfahrung noch einmal auf. Sprachlich gewandt und unendlich spannend erzählt er von Patrick und dessen junger Frau, die die Leidenschaft für Hochgebirgstouren verbindet. Bis sich bei einem eisigen Aufstieg ein Karabiner öffnet und Patrick vor einer Entscheidung mit tödlicher Konsequenz steht- eine Entscheidung, die er noch 25Jahre später sühnen wird.

In Storms of Silence Joe Simpson recalls the severe snowstorm which put an end to an attempt with four others on Gangchempo and the infection which forced him to abandon the climb on Cho Oyu in tibet. During that expedition he has a disturbing encounter with a party of political refugees and a 4-year-old boy fleeing across the Tibetan border. He becomes obsessed with stories of Chinese brutality in the old world Tibet they overran by force 40 years ago. He also begins to question the ethic of playing rich men's games in Third World countries, contributing little to the local people who endure a fearful struggle to survive. Oppression abroad makes him see mindless violence in his home town of Sheffield in a new light. The books ends with his first trip to the Andes in Peru since Touching the Void.

In 1992, an Indian climber was left to die on the South Col of Mount Everest by other climbers who watched his feebly waving hand from their tent.

When Simon Yates cut the rope and sent his friend plummeting to an ordeal few mountaineers can have contemplated, the outcome was totally unpredictable. That Joe Simpson survived is a revelation of the power of the human spirit to overcome fear, pain and deprivation of almost unimaginable intensity.
