Chapter 1: Small hicups at the foot of the mountain. They’ve realised that the ascent wont be like any other they’ve done before. hey know that no-one has officially climbed sulle grande before, and are about to find out why.

Chapter 2: Joe, Richard and Simon struggle again in the acsent, having a rough start to begin with due to the biting cold. At one point icicles fell dangerously close to them.  Richard suffered a head injury. They were later hurled into the void and set for camp again. Richard would remain at the camp and prepare for Joe and Simons return, for he was the least experienced of the trio.

Chapter 3: After camp, more climbing. Little cuts and bruises. Photos taken. Simon had found the ridge through unconventional methods.

Chapter 5: JOE BREAKS HIS LEG, from a misinterpreted glacier

Chapter 6: Joe was being lowered due to his injury when he noticed that the cliff face started getting steeper till he feels like he’s sliding off the mountain, Simon couldn’t hear his yells in the storm so he tried digging his axe into the ice but it wouldn’t cut. Joe slips off the cliff and is left dangling in the air 6 feet away from the cliff edge. Climbing up was not a possible action. Simon feeling Joe hanging off the cliff wondered why he hadn’t detached himself, thought of pulling him up but he too started slipping. He was lead to cutting the rope, dropping Joe. Simon continues descending alone, unbeknownst to him how high of a drop it was.

Chapter 7: Joe dangling off the cliff,  Simon cuts the rope and he falls, landing on snow slips where he continues to fall further into the crevasse beneath him till he hits his head and comes to a halt on an ice bridge sticking out. Joe found out that the rope was cut and decided to go to sleep crying. Frostbite and his other battered ailments meant he could not proper attach himself to the ice wall. He sat there for some time.  He is now in the void which is what translates to the literal title as he is surrounded by the feeling of nothing within nothingness. He decides to abseil deaper.

Chapter 8: (Large Personification of mountain) Simon descended down the mountain enough to see where Joe has fell from the cliff. He agreed to himself that Joe must have died, his thoughts combatting with his hope that he hadn’t. He then goes on to think how other people will respond to the news and how he is going to tell the story, particularly to his mother. He walks up to the crevasse thinking if he should go down and look for Joe but he does not have enough rope and he his already too exhausted to try and he already believes Joe didn’t survive. He tried calling out his name, met with no response. Simon now traumatised, he climbed down the rest of the mountain contemplating if he should lie, saying that Joe infact fell on his own accord. Reuniting again with Richard he ended up telling the truth.
