Top film, even better book. Simon lives not far away; he's a top bloke who has suffered a lot of unfair criticism from people who didn't understand the situation. The book/film has helped to set the record straight as well as being a best seller, fair play to Joe Simpson.

Best viewing on TV for a considerable time .

Not sure that Simon had any other choice than the one he made. As for the other guy lowering himself further down the crevace - Not sure I could have done that - But then I wouldn't have been on the Mountain in the first place .

Not as daft as it seems. There has to be a bottom to the crevasse and once there, if it's wide enough you can traverse to either end and hope for an easier slope out.
