Joe: Simon lowered me down but suddenly I struck my elbow against something
solid. It was a vertical icy wall. I made an attempt to thrust the ice-axe into the
icy rock but I didn’t manage to do it. I realized that I was hanging hundred
meters above the ground. I shouted so that Simon would stop lowering the rope
down. I realized that the only way out of this situation was to climb the rope up.
Unfortunately it was impossible because my fingers were frostbitten. I knew it
was the end.
Simon: I didn’t get the signal from Joe. The whole situation was unclear. I didn’t
know what to do. I was frozen with cold. I tried to hold the rope tightly but I
felt that I was being drawn to the edge of the cliff. Sooner or later I would be
pulled down to the edge of the crevasse. Then I took off my rucksack, reached
for the knife and cut the road.
Joe: I flew 50 metres down and fell on a flat slope. I didn’t believe in miracles
but that time I survived.
Simon: I got to the camp where our common friend was waiting for us. I was
completely sure that we had lost Joe. Four days passed. And then, one night we
woke up because we heard the voice. It was Joe’s voice. We went in the direction
of this voice. It was incredible. Simon was terrible injured but alive.
