20 years ago today. Our fifth night on the mountain summit was absolutely brutal and sometime during the small hours we both succumbed to hypothermia. The rescue mission at first light - one of the most difficult in the history of the Alps - came only hours too late to save Jamie Fisher. Miraculously I was still alive, hypothermic and limbs frozen solid, but conscious. I was whisked off down to the valley to begin a very different life. I was the lucky one. RIP Jamie Fisher 1971 - 1999. Never forgotten. ...
