Touching the Void is the title of Joe Simpson’s book about the events that befell Simon Yates and him during their descent from Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. It’s a harrowing tale in many ways, particularly when it comes to Yates’ dilemma and his fateful decision that haunts him to this day.

So, I expect there is a crevasse in the near future for somebody.
