About this product

Product Information

Joe Simpson has become a legend, not only among mountaineers, but to thousands who would shun his dangerous lifestyle but have been inspired by his honesty and courage. 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. He was filmed in his last hours for a television feature. Why did onlookers not hold the dying man's hand and comfort him? The answer appals Joe Simpson, who was himself left for dead in a cervasse in Peru in 1985 - 'because it might compromise their summit bid'. It is an ethical question that Joe is forced to confront as he climbs a hazardous route on Pumori.Now that Everest has become the playground of the rich, where commercial operators offer guided tours to the top, camping admist the detritus and unburied corpses of previous less fortunate climbers, Joe wonders if the noble instincts that once characterised mountaineering have been irrevocably displaced - as in politics, in business, in the media and in other facets of society.

    Original despatch of the book from Australia was delayed and I had to chase it up when it didn't arrive. The seller apologised and offered a refund but I opted to wait. The missing book was then sturdily packed, speedily despatched, and arrived quickly and in pristine condition so I am happy I waited. Though they got off to a bad start, the seller redeemed themselves and I would buy from them again.

    Communication Prior to Buying was Responsive and Quick. However, having been Reassured that My Order would be Delivered by 'Local Postal Service', it Arrived by Private Courier. The Delivery itself took 25 Days to Arrive. Although it was Delivered before the Estimated Delivery Date, Locally Based Orders Shouldn't have to Take So Long to be Delivered. The New Item Arrived in Excellent Condition as Described. A Satisfying Buy at a Great Value Price but CS Advice Should've been More Reliable.
