Two bold young men decided to conquer the peak
They reached the summit without any problems
For their descent they chose an easier path.
But on their route the disaster struck
Joe slipped and broke his leg in 3 different places
Against all odds Simon decided to get his friend to the safety using a rope
He began lowering his friend down the mountain
Without knowing it, Simon lowed his friend over the edge of a deep crevasse.
They were too far from each other to communicate
One hundred incredibly painful metres at a time.Simon strength grew weaker and he cut the rope
Joe’s fingers were so frostbitten, that he couldn’t climb
Simon made a painful decision- save his own life
But in doing so he sent his friend to certain death
Joe had no food or water… but he was alive
He was close to death but he didn’t want to die alone
It took him 4 days to get to safety
His great courage and determination saved him
Two years later and after 6 operations Joe began to climb again
Did Simon make the right decision?
What would you do?
