Read The Beckoning Silence Storyline:
In a narrative which takes the reader through extreme experiences, from an avalanche in Bolivia, ice-climbing in the Alps and Colorado and paragliding in Spain - before his final confrontation with the Eiger - Simpson reveals the inner truth of climbing, exploring both the power of the mind and the frailties of the body. The subject of this book is the siren song of fear and his struggle to come to terms with it.Pages of The Beckoning Silence :
