ALONE ($65,000 – $70,000)

In 1985, Joe Simpson and his climbing partner were descending a remote peak in the Peruvian Andes after a successful summit. On the way down, Joe slipped and broke his leg badly in an environment where a serious injury usually means death.

Conditions were getting worse, and there was no safe way to carry him down. His partner made the devastating decision to leave him behind and continue down the mountain alone, assuming Joe would not survive.

Joe was now completely alone on a glacier with a shattered leg, no food, no shelter and no realistic rescue coming. Most people would not last long in that situation, but he refused to stay still and wait for the end.

He began dragging himself across the ice, moving inch by inch, using his arms and whatever strength he had left to pull himself down the mountain. The terrain was brutal, the pain constant, and progress was painfully slow, but stopping was not an option he accepted.

At one point, he fell into a deep ice crevasse with no clear way out. After repeated attempts, exhaustion and sheer persistence, he managed to climb back out and continue downward.

Over several days, severely dehydrated, injured and disoriented, he kept moving until he eventually reached base camp. What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role? Nothing at all.
