Joe Simpson
Legendary mountaineer, author, and filmmaker
After crawling back to safety following a near-fatal climbing accident, Joe delivers a powerful message about overcoming the odds and drawing on deep reserves of inner strength.
His book, Touching the Void, deals with teamwork, goal setting, leadership and our ability to reach beyond what we thought was possible. It has become one of the all-time classics of mountaineering and the film adaptation became the most successful documentary in British cinema history.
On Day 2 of OPITO Global, you’ll have the opportunity to hear Joe’s inspiring story, accompanied by stunning visuals, and ask your questions on overcoming the impossible, risk assessing and strategic thinking.
