"To mix a metaphot, Joe Simpson is a streetwise mountaineer... He takes you close to the nitty-gritty, the nuts and bolts of professional climbing in the 1990s. He is used to dealing with totalitarian policemen. He is passionate and mouving on the subject of Tibet and the agonies inflicted on it by the cruel Chinese occupation... Above all, Simpson is a born writer"
