On page 206, Joe says that "We are fallible and accidents will happen". These accidents are unavoidable and are integral parts of the adventure. I also agree with your thoughts on the "beauty of their unspoken connection" while climbing. Dependence on one another was obvious at times, and not so obvious at others. On page 147, Joe with a broken leg and no morale follows the footprints ahead of him, whether they are really there or not just as Simon were up ahead of him and he wasn't alone. Even when they were separated, the subconscience dependence on one another never dies. As Simon tried to wipe the thoughts of Joe's death of his mind, it never left him. And for Joe, their friendship is responsible for saving his life. The feeling of never feeling too alone to the point of giving up is a result of the strong friendship they maintained.
