  • The Cordillera Huayhuash reflects in a small lake at 15,000 feet in the Andes Mountains, Peru, South America. The highest peak on the right is Siula Grande (east face 20,800 feet or 6344 meters elevation), which was the subject of the gripping 2003 British docudrama "Touching the Void." In 1985, climbers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates scaled the treacherous Siula Grande, one of the last unconquered mountains in the Andes, but after Joe broke his leg, their descent became one of the most amazing survival stories in mountaineering history. This photo shows the northeast face, but they climbed Siula Grande from a valley on the other side (the west face) and descended along the north ridge, on the upper right. The 2003 movie is based upon Joe Simpson's harrowing book, "Touching the Void: The True Story of One Man's Miraculous Survival." At center is the peak of Carnicero (19,550 feet / 5960 meters).
