Simon Yates
Sunday 20th November
Witness Simon’s tireless journey from that mountain
in Peru to some of the remotest on the planet!
On the remote Siula Grande in Peru in June 1985,
mountaineer Simon Yates found himself in a desperately unenviable
position. He was slowly being pulled off the mountain face by his
injured partner, Joe Simpson, dangling on the rope 50 metres
below. His decision to cut the rope saved both their lives in the
epic of survival that followed and with the publication of the
book ‘Touching The Void’, later film and stage play, both
climbers became household names.
It was an experience that could have put
many off the sport of mountaineering – but not Simon. Over 35
years later, he is still a very active exploratory climber and
guide, making several expeditions to the mountains each year.
From the Arctic to the Antarctic, Alaska to Central Asia there is
hardly a significant range that he has not visited
