Made famous by Joe Simpson in his epic tale of survival, Touching the Void, the west face of Siula Grande had its second ascent this June. Carlos Buhler and Mark Price decided to take on the ghosts of Simpson and Yates’ venture of 1985. Buhler writing in his diary before embarking: ‘I sure hope we can avoid the touch.’ Their 3300 foot route differed from the original taking off left up an ice gully at half height. Very technical: twenty four pitches of constant steepness with some of the finest alpine ice Buhler (one of America’s most accomplished mountaineers) has seen, and also some of the scariest.
