The book recounts the nightmare that Joe Simpson and Simon Yates experienced when they climbed the not-yet-conquered West Face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. After reaching the summit on the 3rd day, Joe breaks his leg on a nasty fall as they start their descent down the mountain. For all sakes and purposes, a broken leg at 6,000 meters is a death sentence. In a forced fit of compassion, his climbing partner Simon decides to lower Joe down the vertical face of the mountain. During the vertical descent, due to extenuating circumstances (to put it lightly) Simon is forced to cut the rope holding Joe, letting him drop more than 100 feet into a white cloud of mist and snow.

Operation Redwing In the summer of 2005, a four-man Navy SEAL team consisting of Lt. Micheal Murphy, and pettyofficers Danny Dietz, Matthew Axelson and Marcus Luttrell departed for a reconnaissance mission high in the Hindu Kush Mountains near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. The team's target was Ahmad Shah, a local terrorist leader with close ties to Bin Laden who led a group of insurgents referred to as the "Mountain Tigers". Five days after insertion, Luttrell was the only SEAL to make it out alive. After an initially successful infiltration, local goat herders stumbled upon the SEALs' hiding place. Unable to verify any hostile intent from the herders,Murphy asked the team what should be done with them.
While working on Jack, a Japanese soldier popped up from a trench and the Corpsman shot him dead. A mortar barrage had held up the stretcher-bearers and one even dropped his end because from exhaustion, splitting Jack’s head open on a rock. Jack supposedly just smiled at the man sympathetically as if to say, I appreciate what you are trying to do. “The broken, bloody, shrapnel-riddled Jack that the stretcher-bearers had hustled away had been seventeen years old for less than a week.”(Standring Pg.2) After having a poncho placed over him and being injected with morphine, young Lucas thought he was a goner. “While being lifted onto an LST, he was almost dropped into the sea, having only been caught by the foot.
Chief Complaint: 19-year-old man with broken back. History: Allen Dexter, a 19-year-old college student, was rock climbing when he fell 30 feet to the ground. Paramedics arriving at the scene found him lying in the supine position, unable to move any extremities and complaining of neck pain. He was awake, alert, and oriented to his current location, the date and day of the week, and the details of his fall. His responses to questioning were appropriate.
Out of bounds, he yelled from the end of the road, from the foot of the hill, from beyond the look-out post of Fretwell’s Farm – I lifted an arm. So even though the boy goes further and further away from the school yard, the shout is still audible. In this way, their experiment was a failure. In the next stanza, we learn that the boy committed suicide long ago: He left town, went on to be twenty years dead with a gunshot hole in the
From the first time he needed to make a fire to him beating his hands against his chest and legs to get circulation flowing again. Climax: There were two climaxes. One was when he fell in the water and the other was when he built the first fire to possibly save his life and the snow fell on it. Falling Action: In a last ditch effort the man tried to run to camp but couldn’t. Then he sat down and slowly drited from sleep to death.
The Parable of the Sadhu The Parable of the Sadhu is a story of men coming from different cultural backgrounds, climbing the Himalayas that run into a moral dilemma. In summary, the author had been beating himself up for years because on a trip to Nepal to climb in the Himalayan Mountains where he came across a nearly naked freezing Indian holy man that is near death and they revived him and left him in a hut, last seeing him throwing rocks at a dog. For years the author suffered from guilt, feeling that he should have helped carry the Sadhu down to a village on a two-day walk. By looking at the situation and what the men did, it is definite that the men acted out of egoism and social contract. Egoism is the normative ethical position that moral agents ought to do what is in their own self-interest while social contract theory is the view that persons’ moral and/or political obligations are dependent upon a contract or agreement among them to form the society in which they live.
