Book Touching the Void Review :



First, I want to acknowledge that Joe Simpson is a talented writer. I have never been a climber and choose never to be one. That said, though the book was filled with action and tear-jerking moments, it seems to be written in the deceptive guise of commending Simon when in actuality it is very self-serving. It is the narcissistic tale of a man who barely disguises his disappointment in his climbing mate, Simon. In reality, had Joe truly been thankful for Simon’s saving his life, (“You saved my life you know”), and had he truly understood, (“I don’t blame you…You did all that could have been done.”), that Simon did the what was necessary, (“You had no choice.”), Joe would have never written such a self-aggrandizing book, knowing how the climbing community would blame Simon for cutting the rope. It is beyond my understanding why the climbing community would prefer that Simon be pulled from the shelf and die himself, seeing that it was impossible for Simon to continue to hold Joe’s weight, rather than cut the rope and survive. Joe knew the risks of climbing and should at least take responsibility for his situation. Simon wasn’t wrong in his actions, Joe was.
Before reading the book I had heard the story many times in the popular press, how Simon cut his buddy loose on a mountain and left him for dead. News reports seem to lay a guilt trip on Simon. After reading the book however I realize that Simon is a true hero, his heroic actions saved both men. He risked his life many times in a desperate effort to get Joe down to only a relatively short distance from the bottom. If he had not done that, Joe would have died, rope cutting or not. Not only that, if he had not cut the rope, both men would have undoubtedly died. If Simon had stayed on the rope and fallen roped to Joe, Simon would have fallen deep into the crevasse and pulled Joe off his ledge into the crevasse with him, killing them both. But by relying on his mountain climbing instincts and cutting the rope when he did, he saved both of them. In retrospect cutting the rope save two live which would have otherwise been lost. That's not to say that Joe is not a hero, but he only saved his own life, Simon saved two. If I were on an extreme climb, I'd want Simon for a partner.
