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.

Ha its funny i just got back from the lakes , were i spent some time contemplating buying a new pen knife looking in a window at keswick the misses said look its not the size its how you use it . she went on to say just go on that forum site thing you spend all your time on and ask simon yates what size his was , i'm sure joe wasn't botherd how big it was when he was flying through the air . she has a point , its not the size its how sharp it is . she then went on to shout "simon ,simon" . as far as falling you cant count avalanches as a fall its mother nature avin a laugh .....

I went to a talk by Simon Yates at the 2007 NEC Outdoor Show. He's a really interesting bloke, has some great tales to tell about his mountaineering career post-The Void and told them in a really nice, humourous but rather inspirational way. I've got one of his books too but haven't yet made it past the first chapter. It looks promising but I'm a terrible reader.
