Simon Yates first became known as “the man who cut the rope” holding Joe Simpson during a disastrous descent from Peru's Siula Grande in 1985, a story immortalised in the film ‘Touching the Void’. 20 years on, Simon is one of the most successful mountaineers of his time.I

In Beyond the Void, Simon recounts his experiences in the mountains, transporting the audience to some of the highest and most treacherous peaks in the world.  His dry wit, philosophical approach and stunning images give a real insight into the mountain environment and the extreme mental and physical challenge of climbing.
