How Far Has Joe Simpson Fallen?

Alastair Lee has just posted some more footage of the Gordon Stainforth interview with Joe Simpson at the recent Sheffield Adventure Film Festival.

In this excerpt Simpson talks about climbing and risk and how it affected his climbing. How many feet has he fallen in total and is he accident prone or survival prone? Interesting stuff and well worth a quick browse.

See www.posingproductions.com where you can also see Alastair himself learning the techniques of, erm, split boarding with Andy Perkins in preparation for a winter filming in the Alps.
