East Face of Siula Grande at sunrise, Cordillera Huayhuash, Andes Mountains, Peru

East Face of Siula Grande (20,814 ft or 6344 m) at sunrise in the Cordillera Huayhuash, Andes Mountains, Peru, South America. Day 3 of 9 days trekking around the Cordillera Huayhuash. Siula Grande was the subject of the gripping 2003 British docudrama "Touching the Void." In 1985, climbers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates scaled the treacherous West Face of Siula Grande, but after Joe broke his leg, their descent became one of the most amazing survival stories in mountaineering history. The 2003 movie is based upon Joe Simpson's harrowing book, "Touching the Void: The True Story of One Man's Miraculous Survival."
