Joe Simpson was a determined, strong man who is well-known for his climb of Suila Grande. His partner, Simon Yates, was also determined to climb the rocky ledges and precarious snow-capped peaks of Suila Grande. The full story can be found at Wikipedia.
Joe Simpson climbed Suila Grande because (quote, unquote, from the doc 'Touching the Void) he 'wanted to prove that he could make it.'
What followed was a near fatal accident that changed the course of his life forever. I hope this information helped you.
