Simon Yates did write a book in which he touched on 'touching the void'. From memory it was called 'Against the wall', and was about a big wall climb he did with Paul Prichard (of 'Totem Pole' fame) in Patagonia. Interestingly PP wrote a book about the same trip called 'Deep Play', which won him the Boardman/Tasker prize and financed his trip to Aus/Tassie, where he had the misfortune to be whacked on the head with a rock.
That group of climbers sure know how to find trouble, and know how to write good books about it! |
