oe notes in the chapter "On the Edge" that any accident needing a rope to break a fall would be...

(from On the Edge) A bummer. Just what they need. Ideal. Fatal. Why does Joe smell a foul odor? (from Tears in the Night, Prologue) He smells the corpse of another climber. He has crawled through the latrine area of the camp. He hasn't bathed in eight days. His knee is becoming infected with gangrene. 3) After lowering Joe down, what is Simon's signal that Joe needs to take his weight off the rope? (from Disaster) Three tugs on the rope. Three flashes of his head torch. Giving slack to the rope. Three arm waves. When Joe and Simon move together, Joe moves only when...(from On the Edge) He can see Simon. Simon gives him the signal. The whiteout is over. The rope moves. 5) What is the first thing Simon says to Joe after Joe tells him about the broken leg? (from Disaster) 'I'll abseil down to you.' 'Are you okay?' 'Are you sure it's broken?' 'What happened?' What does Joe do to find out if Simon has fallen to his death?(from Shadows in the Ice) He calls him on the radio. He pulls the rope. He asks Richard. 6) 4) 2)

He taps their secret code on the ice wall. 7) When Joe reaches the riverbed, what is the voice telling him?(from Tears in the Night, Prologue) 'Keep going.' 'Hurry up.' 'Don't stop.' Nothing. 8) What does Joe say to Simon that makes Simon come to tears?(from Tears in the Night, Prologue) 'Why did you abandon me?' 'I wish you would have looked for me.' 'You saved my life ... I don't blame you.' 'Wait until my mother hears about this!' 9) At the end of "The Final Choice", how does Simon feel? (from The Final Choice) Like he has broken his leg. Relieved. Thirsty and lonely. Watched. What is Joe attempting to do when he falls and injures himself?(from Disaster) He is attempting to slide down a scree slope. He is attempting to look over the edge of a cornice. He is attempting to reverse-climb a small cliff. He is attempting to jump a crevasse. 11) What method of movement does Joe first try when he is out of the crevasse? (from Mind Games) Nordic-walking. Spindrifting. Tobogganing. Hopping. How far into the crevasse does Joe guess he has fallen? (from Shadows in the Ice) About 50 feet. All the way. 12) 10)

About 100 feet. About 50 stories. While Joe ponders the notion of being left, the rope goes slack. What does this mean? (from Disaster) That Simon is falling. That Simon is descending towards Joe. That the rope has been cut. That Simon is leaving. 14) After the moraines, what is Joe's next destination goal? (from A Land Without Pity) Bomb Alley. Base camp. The lake. Lima. 15) When referring to their experience on the ridge, Simon tells Joe that he is... (from On the Edge) Ready to do it again. Not recalling what happened. Disoriented. Freaked out. 16) After 12 hours in the crevasse, Joe finally escapes. Although briefly mentioned in the chapter "In the Far Distance", a new character is now officially introduced. Who is it? (from In the Far Distance) The voice. The soaring condor. Alecia. Paddington. What becomes Joe's obsession in the moraines? (from A Land Without Pity) Water. The smell of urine. Rocks. Footprints. 18) 17) 13)

After coming to the conclusion that Joe is dead, Simon is determined to do what? (from Silent Witness) To come back with a helicopter. To recover Joe's personal helmet-cam to see what happened. To get off the mountain alive. To find Joe's body. 19) At seven o'clock on the eve of their departure from base camp, Simon and Richard hear a strange cry in the distance. What does Richard suggest it is? (from Time Running Out) Tripes. A dog. Joe. Joe's ghost. Why doesn't Joe want to go to the hospital right away? (from Tears in the Night, Prologue) He hates hospitals. He wants to sleep. He thinks he'll pull through. He needs to find his money. How does Simon cut the rope? (from The Final Choice) He cuts it with a set of climber's rope-shears. He uses a sharp rock. He saws at the rope with a knife for one hour. He touches a knife to it. 22) When Joe finally musters the courage to look down, what does he see in disbelief? (from In the Far Distance) A snow-covered floor. The Prussik knot he had dropped while hanging above the crevasse. The corpse of an ancient iceman. Another dead climber. 23) After he falls into the crevasse, what does Joe see through the hole far above? (from Shadows in the Ice) Simon's body. Clouds. 21) 20)

Stars. Sunlight. 24) When he finds a way out, what does Joe say he has that he didn't have before? (from In the Far Distance) The will to live. An escape route. A plan. Feeling in his fingers. 25) When Joe and Simon move together along the ridge, how far behind Simon does Joe follow? (from On the Edge) A full rope-length. Within earshot. One car-length. 150 yards. 1. While Joe ponders the notion of being left, the rope goes slack.
