Mountain man Simon Yates remembers over three decades on mountains and ice caps
AFTER the 1985 near-tragedy in the Andes which necessitated him cutting a rope and sending his climbing partner plummeting over the edge of a cliff, just to give the two of them a chance of surviving, mountaineer Simon Yates gave up the outdoor life, retired to rural England and has spent the intervening years working in an office and gardening.
Like hell.
