Simon Yates joins host Cassie De Pecol to talk about risk, survival, and being known as “the guy who cut the rope.” If you’d like to learn more about Simon's adventures in mountaineering, check out his books: Against the Wall, The Flame of Adventure, and The Wild Within - available wherever you get your books.
