In 1985, everyone who knew Joe Simpson believed he was dead. At just 25 years old, Joe and his climbing partner, Simon Yates, became the first people to scale the west face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. Tragically, on the way down, Joe fell and broke his leg. As Simon tried to help him descend, Joe fell again—this time into a massive crevasse. It seemed certain he was lost forever and Simon returned to base camp, grieving the loss of his friend.But then, three days later, Joe crawled back into camp. He had survived. Despite frostbite, exhaustion, infection, and permanent damage to his leg, Joe was alive. His story is almost too incredible to believe.We've all heard stories like this—accounts of survival or hope that seem impossible. But perhaps the most unbelievable story of all is the resurrection of Jesus.Jesus was crucified by professional Roman executioners, buried in a tomb, and three days later he rose from the dead. As unbelievable as that may sound, even more astonishing is the claim that his resurrection has the power to transform lives—even today, 2,000 years later.
En 1985, Simon Yates et Joe Simpson, deux jeunes alpinistes britanniques atteignent le sommet du Siula Grande au Pérou à 6356m. Mais la descente tourne au drame. Joe se retrouve suspendu dans le vide, retenu à bout de bras par son compagnon qui finit par couper la corde pour sauver sa vie.

El pasado viernes se dio a conocer la Big List de los Piolets d' Or, los Óscar de la montaña, con una amplia nómina de amigos de este podcast en la lista por actividades realizadas el pasado año en distintas cordilleras. Nunca un alpinista español ha sido reconocido con este galardón, aunque Silvia Vidal tenga una mención especial y 'El jefe', Jordi Corominas, ha sido jurado, como en la edición de 2010. Recuperamos algunas 'declas' de Marc Torallés al Siula Grande que hizo su día en nuestro podcast y que podéis escuchar de forma íntegra en el octavo episodio de la tercera temporada; Eneko Pou nos cuenta sus sensaciones tras una quinta nominación de los Pou y hablamos con Tomeu Rubí de cuando estuvo en el Dolma Kang con Bru Busom, otro amigo de esta casa. Luego nos vamos a hablar con Jonathan Larrañaga para que nos cuente cómo ha ido el verano en Alpes, que ha vuelto a tener desprendimientos por las altas temperaturas, y también le preguntaremos por la formación de guías ya que en septiembre 'cambiará' cuerdas, crampones y 'piolos' por libros. Este episodio lo finalizamos con Javier Campos, que nos acerca un proyecto solidario que impulsa en Nepal.

Największą miłością Joe Simpsona były góry, niestety czasem bywa tak, że nasza pasja może nas doprowadzić do zguby. W 1985 roku Joe wraz ze swoim przyjacielem Simonem wyruszyli na wyprawę na Siula Grande w Andach. W wyniku niefortunnego upadku Joe złamał nogę, co prawie przesądziło o jego losie, nie poddał się jednak i z pomocą przyjaciela szedł dalej. Niestety nie miał to być koniec tragedii podczas tej wyprawy...
Cerramos el mes de enero en Planeta Montaña by Huesca La Magia y lo hacemos con un viaje que se inicia en la exótica Jordania, en las montañas de Wadi Rum y acaba conociendo el espacio nórdico SKIMO Ruego, en uno de los rincones más espectaculares del Pirineo aragonés, en la comarca del Sobrarbe terreno sobre el que se asienta el espectacular Parque nacional de Ordesa Monte Perdido que hoy lo vamos a conocer, pero desde otro prisma. Vamos por partes. Se viene al podcast exclusivo de iVoox Marc Toralles. Guía de montaña, protagonista ya de Planeta Montaña by Huesca La Magia tras el Siula Grande con Bru Busom, acaba de regresar de las montañas de Wadi Rum cuando le pedimos que nos contara cómo es la escalada en este lugar al sur de Jordania, cerca del Canal de Suez, en un desierto que se levanta por encima de los 1.500 metros de altitud y terrenos de los beduinos conocidos por su hospitalidad. Luego nos iremos a Ordesa. vamos a conocer el estudio que realizan dos científicos del Instituto Pirenaico de Ecología en este espacio protegido. Se viene al podcast José Joaquín Lahoz, montañero zaragozano, con un gran curriculo que junto a Begoña García y con el patrocinio de la Fundación BBVA tienen un laboratorio sonoro en el Parque Nacional para analizar y detectar con el apoyo de las matemáticas los cambios que allí se producen. Y, por último nos iremos a Bielsa. Allí, con el respaldo del Ayuntamiento belsetanos y la Diputación de Huesca ha surgido Skimo Ruego. Borja Real nos contará cómo es esta iniciativa que 'acerca' tanto el esquí de montaña como el senderismo con raquetas a esta parte del Pirineo.

Compañero de cordada de Marc Toralles, el catalán Bru Busom aparece con nombre propio en el panorama del alpinismo español. Atesora un gran currículo donde el Siula Grande aparece con nombre propio. Toralles ya se vino a Planeta Montaña by Huesca La Magia para contarnos la aventura vivida en es agran pared de los Andes peruanos y la visita de Bru era una de esas que teníamos pendiente. A finales del pasado año, conocimos el acuerdo del Consejo Superior de Deportes por el que se nombraban deportistas de alto nivel a los Hermanos Pou, Silvia Vidal, Marc Toralles y Bru Busom. Por si necesitáramos una 'percha' para llamar al de Terrasa, ese acuerdo nos sirvió de manera perfecta para invitarle, aceptó y hoy se viene al podcast un alpinista que tiene en su historial logros como la norte del Eiger, la Directa Eslovaca del Denali o el Corredor de los Japoneses a las Grandes Jorasses por el que recibió el premio FEDME alpinismo europeo 2018. En el podcast, Bru Busom nos acerca su manera de entender el alpinismo, la montaña e incluso cómo conoció a su compañera de vida. Cercano, campechano, con las ideas claras, nos habla de ello y también de su trabajo de guía, cómo lo podemos localizar e incluso algún requisito que debemos cumplir para que nos lleve a cualquier rincón donde una montaña sea la protagonista.

Today on the podcast, McKay chats about making tough choices, the Endowment Effect, and why great risks can have great rewards. Opening up the episode with a story about two men's dangerous descent down the face of Peru's Siula Grande, McKay details the hardest decision of one of their lives and what it's like to work under pressure. From picking flavors at the ice cream shop to a marriage proposal, choices follow us everywhere, even when we think we don't have any. Feeling helpless or trapped? There is always a way out, but it isn't always easy. That's why this episode is all about forgetting failure, forsaking the status quo, and paying attention to the mood. The most important thing to remember, though, is that nothing changes unless you do. Taking risks can be scary, but you also just might find that your best life may lie on the other side. If McKay's learned anything in his life, it's that he's never regretted making a bold choice, whether it went his way or not. So take a note from the Christiansen book, and listen to what he has to say about decision making and why it's okay to make the daring one. The Finer Details of This Episode:Mount Huascaran and Yungay's powerful earthquakeSimpson and Yates' dangerous descentMaking tough choicesWhy life is your greatest instructorStatus Quo BiasFocusing on failureRisk and rewardsHow mood affects decision makingQuotes:“They enjoyed the thrill of their success only for a few minutes before the dread of the descent covered their thinking. Why? Because 80 percent of the deaths and accidents on climbs like this happen on the descent.”“If he cut the rope, he knew he would be sending his friend below him to a certain death. But if he didn't cut the rope he would fall along with Joe and likely die as well. There was no good choice. How do you choose?”“Some of us don't like to make a choice, because the consequences are hard to live with, and impact us and others.”“We make bad judgments, lack experience, misread, misinterpret, and mistake the wrong thing for the right thing. And life is tough. Life teaches us there are consequences for bad choices. And, as a result, we may shy away from those choices.”“What is often true is: you can't change the cards you are dealt with, but you can change how you play them.”“When faced with a choice that involves an element of risk, the vast majority of people will choose what they have: the status quo.”“I get feeling helpless or trapped. I have felt this way before, but there is something liberating and energizing about choosing.”“And it may be time to make the bolder choice, to purposefully act against mood and the status quo in your life. If you don't feel like it, that very mood and feeling may be telling you to choose it anyway. Your best life may be found on the other side of today's difficult choice.”Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/
Es el alpinismo de exposición, de máxima exigencia. Montaña en la que la emoción exsuda por todos los poros de la piel. Alejada del mundo de los 'ochomiles', de la montaña de los 'selfies'. La cordada de Marc Toralles y Bru Busom ha tachado la este del Siula Grande. Un 6.000 que, a buen seguro, no atraerá los grandes titulares, ni la atención de los 'mass media'. Pero un montañón, una cara peligrosa, una expedición sujeta al miedo y al alpinismo de primer nivel. Se viene a Planeta Montaña by Huesca La Magia, Marc Toralles, guía UIAGM y charla con nosotros desde Chamonix, donde se encuentra trabajando. Porque ese es su trabajo, el de ser guía de montaña para ahorrar y luego invertir en esas expediciones que como la que hizo a la casa sur del Denali, con Bru Busom, le apasiona. Es lo que le da -dan- la vida, la forma que tienen de entender el alpinismo. Y en el podcast, también estaremos con Kriss Annapurna, respondiendo a un par de preguntas de suscriptores en la sección de Evil Eye, y nos contará algunas de las expediciones más jugosas que en estos momentos están en marcha. Además, también os comentaremos cosas que hacen sobre sus esquís Luke Smithwick, que nos ha mandado un guasap desde Patagonia, y el gallego Gonzalo Fernández García, inmerso en su proyecto de subir al Manaslu y descenderlo sosbre sus tablas.

Joe Simpson and Simon Yates were two ambitious young climbers with aptitude and passion who pursued a first ascent of the West face of Siula Grande, a mountain in the Peruvian Andes in 1985. They were successful in reaching their goal of the summit, although the climbing was difficult. They had hoped that the descent they had chosen would be less difficult, but it turned into a nightmare when Joe broke is leg only 1/3 of the way down, which was the equivalent of a death sentence for both men. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kaycee-mcintosh/support

On the show, today is academy award-winning documentary and film director, and producer, Kevin Macdonald. He is one of few directors who dance the line of film and documentary seamlessly. He directed documentaries like Whitney (2018), crowdsourced documentary - Life in a Day (2011), Marley (2012), among others.He is famously known for his 2006 drama film, The Last King of Scotland, starring Oscar winning best actor, Forest Whitaker. Kevin has made a huge name for himself and his work over his 27 years in the industry - dabbling in commercials, films and documentaries.As a boy, his granddad, Emeric Pressburger who was a legendary filmmaker in the 1940s lit his passion for filmmaking. When his grandfather passed, Kevin wrote a biography in 1994 about his grandad’s life journey, titled, ‘ The Life and Death of a Screenwriter’, which he later made into a documentary ‘The Making of an Englishman’ (1995). This was the start to him becoming a documentary maker.In 1999 he directed the Box office hit and Oscar-winning documentary, One Day in September, which is about the 1972 Munich Olympic Games massacre, featuring a lengthy interview with Jamal Al-Gashey, the last known survivor of the Munich terrorists.This project catapulted his career big time. He then made the adventure-docudrama, Touching the Void, another critically acclaimed film that won Best British Film at the 2003 BAFTA. The true story of two climbers and their perilous journey up the west face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in 1985.Kevin’s directorial debut on a film was the Oscar® winning, The Last King of Scotland. It is an adaptation of Giles Foden's 1998 novel by the same title. This historical drama which also carries a political thriller genre received riveting reviews and performed exceptionally - both commercially and critically. Forest Whitaker's performance stole the show and earned him an Oscar for Best Actor. This $6million budget film grossed $48.4million at the Box Office and has an 87% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.The story details the brutal reign of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin as seen through the eyes of his personal physician. James McAvoy stars as the doctor who slowly realizes that he is trapped in an inescapable nightmare, and Forest Whitaker assumes the role of the notorious despot.In commemoration of Youtube’s fifth anniversary, Macdonald was hired to direct and produce the very unique film, the Life in a Day (2011) documentary. It was crowdsourced from 80,000 Youtubers and regular people all over the world sharing their life in one day. The film serves as a time capsule to show future generations what it was like to be alive on July 24, 2010. The completed film debuted at Sundance in early 2011In February of this year, Kevin's latest film, The Mauritanian was released in the US. He explains in this interview that it was a very difficult subject matter to tackle. The entire movie was shot in two locations. Both in South Africa and in Mauritania.The Mauritanian is a suspense legal-drama based on the 2015 memoir Guantánamo Diary by Mohamedou Ould Salahi, a true story of Salahi's experience of being held for fourteen years without charge in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. The film stars Jodie Foster, Tahar Rahim, Shailene Woodley, and Benedict Cumberbatch.You going to really enjoy this conversation. We dig into the nitty-gritty of documentary structuring, tales of directing huge movie stars, and navigating the Hollywood machine.Enjoy my conversation with Kevin Macdonald.

After Joe Simpson's climbing partner cut the rope they had used to lower the injured Joe down the Siula Grande mountain in Peru, Joe fell 150 into an icy crevasse. Now alone on the glacier with a broken leg, Joe must find the strength to pull himself out and traverse five miles back to basecamp; assuming basecamp is still there.
Siula Grande is a 20,814 foot behemoth that sits along the Peruvian Andes, a challenging ascent for even the most experienced climber. In 1985, Joe Simpson and his climbing partner Simon Yates made the decision to be the first people to scale its West Face. During their descent, their plans went awry and Yates was faced with an impossible decision.
Back in 1985, Simon Yates and his climbing companion Joe Simpson had become the first pair to successfully summit the west face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. But after reaching the top and preparing for the descent, it was then that things started to go badly wrong. Joe fell, breaking his leg, and in a desperate attempt to get them both down, Simon was faced with a horrible decision. Here he describes the events that were later told through the perspective of Joe in the gripping book and documentary, Touching the Void
It's a new episode! Emily tells us about Walt Wyatt, a man who survived a plan crash in the Bermuda Triangle, and Taylor regales us with yet another mountain survival story, namely the harrowing tale of Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, the first people to climb the West Face of the Siula Grande.
5 Most Amazing Wilderness & Ocean Survival Stories Mother Nature is unforgiving and life on this planet is a fragile thing. Here one minute and gone the next in the blink of an eye. Despite this however, from time to time people can show a resilience when facing dire circumstances that is nothing short of extrodianry. These are the 5 most amazing wilderness & Ocean survival stories. 5. Yossi Ghinsberg It started as a promising adventure. Yossi Ghinsberg's dream was to hike into uncharted areas of the Amazon rainforest, the thought of discovering places that may never had been seen by man, was something he thought would be spectactular. In 1981 at the age of 21 - After serving in the Israeli Navy, he heading out to South America to make his dream become a reality. Along the way, he met some new friends, Marcus Stamm from Switzerland; Kevin Gale, an American photographer; and Karl Ruprechter, an Austrian who claimed to be a geologist in search of an indigenous tribe and that he knew how to get them into the jungle. Despite hardly knowing each other, the four set out on foot for the remote heart of the Amazon jungle. 4. Debbie Kiley It was October 1982; Debbie Kiley was a 26-year old sailor who went out to sail with four other friends on a routine trip from Maine to Florida. From the onset, Debbie noticed there was something wrong. The skipper was lazy, two men on the boat kept bickering and the boat, a 58-foot sailing yacht called the Trashman wasn't properly maintained. They made a stopover in Annapolis, Maryland and It was here on their next leg when they were caught in a fierce storm. The boat was tossed in strong 60-knot winds and huge 40-50 feet swells. They barely had time to let the coast guard know they were having trouble let alone inflate a life raft when the yacht sank in open waters. For the next five days, the five survivors clung onto a dinghy and one by one, they succumbed to their deaths. 3. Joe Simpson & Simon Yates For Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, the mountains were home. The two young friends were in Peru in 1985, climbing the remote Siula Grande. Simpson was 25 years old and Yates was 21 at that time. The two reached the summit two days after leaving base camp. But they say getting up is always easier then coming down. The next day while decending, Simpson slipped and fell. The impact was so severe he immediately knew he broke his leg and by then he thought he was as good as dead. 2. Jan Baalsrud Part of the Norwegian resistance, Jan Baalsrud was trained by the British in Special Operations, to assist in helping free his country. On March 24, 1943, Jan, with 10 other comrades, sailed aboard a 75-foot fishing vessel named the Brattholm on a mission to destroy a German air control tower. The group was given the name of a storeowner to contact but what they didn't know was that their real contact had died and the replacement was someone whose sympathies were with the Germans. 1. Jose Salvador Alvarenga Jose Alvarenga was a fisherman last seen sailing with another fisherman named Ezequiel Cordoba on November 18, 2012. Jose had meant to go with his usual partner, out off the coast of Mexico, but he cancelled at the last minute. Aboard the 25-foot boat, the men managed to capture their fill of fish, but that’s when their luck ran out. After being hit by a storm, they were blown off course. Jose radioed for help just before all electronics stopped functioning - soon after that their engine died as well. As the storm grew stronger, they were forced to dump their catch in desperate attempt to stabilize the boat. The boat was tossed around while the two men took turns frantically bailing water. so there were the 5 Most Amazing Wilderness & Ocean Survival Stories Surviving the elements takes grit, strength and a lot of luck. But more then any of those, as these men and women have shown, it takes a determination and a will to push on, no matter how dire the situation may seem.

Being a climber, he knew it would be near impossible to find help and be rescued up in the mountains. 2.

Movies can be useful metaphors and speak powerfully to us - especially when seen through the eyes of the Divine, wholeheartedness or We-centeredness. This is Mazzi’s first podcast of a regular conversation we’ll have focused on particular movies - as the basis of a metaphor for our life. Join us as we explore the movie Touching the Void based on a 1988 book by Joe Simpson, recounting his and Simon Yates' successful but disastrous and nearly fatal climb of the 6,344-metre Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in 1985.
Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the mountaineer Joe Simpson. He was born in Kuala Lumpur in 1960 where his father was stationed with the British Army. Over the next few years the family lived in Gibraltar, Ireland and Germany, although Joe returned to England for schooling at Ampleforth and showed an early adventurous spirit and love of sport.But it was only after reading the classic account of attempted ascents on the Eiger - 'The White Spider' - by Heinrich Harrer that he developed an interest in his future passion. After a brief spell working at a saw mill and then at a quarry he studied English Literature at Edinburgh University. There he began climbing in earnest often attempting dangerous routes beyond his experience before tackling a previously unconquered route up Siula Grande - a peak in the Peruvian Andes. This climb was to make his name. He and his partner Simon Yates made the first successful ascent of the mountain's west face only to run into difficulties after Joe shattered his leg on their descent. After running out of resources and with no prospect of rescue Simon painstakingly lowered Joe towards shelter before being forced to cut the rope on his friend. Joe had inadvertently slid over an overhanging rock and was slowly pulling the two off the mountain. He landed in a crevasse and after being left for dead amazingly managed to crawl miles back to safety. Simon Yates was widely attacked for his actions in the climbing community leading Joe to write a defence of the rescue with his book 'Touching the Void', which has also been made into an award-winning film. Told he'd never climb again following the accident, Joe went on to climb many more mountains over the last two decades. He's worked as a mountaineering guide all over the world and written five more books.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: I'm Not A Man You Meet Everyday by Cait O'Riordon and the Pogues Book: Blank book and pen Alternative to Bible: The Sutras - the teachings of Gautama Buddha Luxury: A drink-making machine
