The story of British mountain climbers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates as they climb the Siula Grande in the Andes. Simpson takes a fall and breaks his leg and Yates attempts to lower him down by a support rope. When the weight becomes too much, Yates is forced to cut the rope and Simpson falls one hundred feet down the side of the mountain.
Kevin MacDonald's ('A Day in September') docu-drama is based on a true story. In 1985 two ambitious young British mountaineers, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, set off to scale the treacherous west face of the Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. They reached the summit on day three, but shortly after starting the descent Simpson fell and broke his leg badly. This accident turned their daring expedition into a desperate fight for survival, when Yates had to decide whether to stay with Simpson and wait to be rescued (and possibly die) or leave him behind to save his own life.
