In the first episode of Dangerous Minds, host Ed Stafford is joined by Joe Simpson - mountaineer, author and motivational speaker. While climbing in Peru in 1985, Joe suffered severe injuries and was lost, suspected dead, after failing into a crevasse. But against all odds he survived and managed to crawl back to his basecamp.
His ordeal was documented in his bestselling book Touching The Void, adapted into the 2003 film described as the most successful documentary in British cinema history.
