No he did not. He climbed a few stages of it for the documentary 'the Beckoning Silence' but did not climb the whole route. It was a childhood wish of his to climb it, but he never did.

Why did Joe Simpson climb Siule Grande?

Joe Simpson was a determined, strong man who is well-known for his climb of Suila Grande. His partner, Simon Yates, was also determined to climb the rocky ledges and precarious snow-capped peaks of Suila Grande. The full story can be found at Wikipedia.
