Kar Jas's video: Estudiante UCV - Sr Caspa

Recently some friends invited me to make a trekking around Huayshuah and I accepted. Let me tell you that Huayhuash has beatiful views and increible true histories; I would like to share the most interesting for me. The year was 1985, when two British mountaineers, Simpson and Simon Yates, were attempting to climb the Siula Grande located in the Peruvian Andes. After reaching the peak, the pair were caught in a storm, in which Joe Simpson broke his leg. For about an hour Yates held on to the rope, with the full wait of Simpson dragging him closer to the edge. Yates made the decision to cut the rope, thinking he had to do so to survive himself. In an incredible feat, Simpson survived the fall, crashing through a glacier and crawling back to camp. A documentary, called “Touching the Void” has been made, about the incident.
