Joe Simpson <3

Awhile ago in the bookstore I found this book totally by chance..it's called Touching the Void by Joe Simpson. Joe and his partner Simon were climbing a mountain and Joe fell and shattered his knee. Simon lowered him down the mountain..but then he lowered him over a huge crevasse. Simon couldn't hear him cause there was a storm and he had to cut the rope. Joe survived his fall through the crevasse, dragged himself over the glacier and the moraine, past a lake and back to camp. It was an amazing story. There was a documentary made and I got to see that when mom and I were looking through the movies on Netflix. That made the story even more amazing. Recently I read another of Joe's books called The Beckoning Silence. Part of it was about his attempt at climbing the Eiger in Switzerland. He also talked about a group of people in the 30s that tried to summit the North Face of the Eiger (it had never been successfully summited before). They were Joe's inspiration to mountain climb (their story is also told in The White Spider..which I'm totally gonna read). Reading that made me fascinated with the Eiger. The Beckoning Silence was made into a documentary as well and I found it on Youtube! I watched part of it yesterday. It's AWESOME..it's sooo good. It talks about the group of people from the 30s and has reenactments of them climbing. It also shows Joe climbing the Eiger and him talking about his fascination with the mountain. There's something about watching it that makes it all the more awesome. I'm totally posting it here when I finish watching it. I'm so glad I found that book at work..Joe Simpson is awesome :D

Would you rather have an ugly wart on your big toe for two weeks or a big pimple on the tip of your nose for three days? The pimple..even though those kind are the most painful kind. If you accidentally touch your nose..owww
