What came out first, "Touching the Void" or "All Aboard! Rosie's Family Cruise"?
Touching the Void (film) Touching the Void is a 2003 docudrama survival film about Joe Simpson's and Simon Yates' disastrous and near-fatal climb of Siula Grande in the Cordillera Huayhuash in the Peruvian Andes in 1985. It is based on Simpson's 1988 book of the same name.
Simon Yates (mountaineer) Simon Yates (born 1963) is an English mountaineer. In 1985, he climbed the west face of Siula Grande in the Huayhuash mountain range in the Peruvian Andes with Joe Simpson. On the descent, an accident resulted in Simpson falling over a cliff while roped to Yates, who was forced to cut the rope to avoid both climbers falling. Simpson survived, and recounted the story in the book "Touching the Void", which was later adapted into a film. He currently lives in Cumbria, Uk with
