In 1985, climbers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates summited Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. During the descent, Simpson fell and shattered his leg high on the mountain. Trying to lower him down in a storm, Yates eventually had to cut the rope to survive. Simpson fell into a crevasse. Against all odds, he survived. And later described something unexpected during those hours on the mountain: A strange clarity and calm. Sometimes in the most extreme moments, the human mind does something remarkable.
