- Lincoln Hall was one of Australia’s best known mountaineers. In 2006, he fulfilled a lifelong dream and reached the summit of Everest. As he began the long descent, altitude sickness overpowered him and he collapsed. After hours of trying to revive him, his Sherpa companions pronounced him dead and they were ordered by the expedition leader to descend. The next day, an American guide found Hall alive on the crest of the summit ridge. Hall’s eighth book, "Dead Lucky: Life After Death on Mount Everest," tells this remarkable story. In this rare interview Lincoln Hall and local climber and rescuer, Andrew Brash, meet for one of the first times in person since the accident. Greg Child masterfully helps them reweave the tale of that fateful day on Everest. Lincoln Hall died in 2012 at the age of 56 of a rare cancer called mesothelioma.

It’s very sad that Lincoln died of cancer six years later. Rest on high. 😪🙏🏼
Andrew summited in 2008. A true hero!
The real hero of this piece
That's useful to know! Way to go Andrew! He probably thought of his now deceased friend Lincoln Hall as he finally journeyed to the summit on his third try.
They guys who abandoned their summiting to help him are heroes
Indeed
I would absolutely love to see an interview with the Sherpas.. To hear it from their point of view I think would be amazing. These guys are extremely lucky to be alive but they were extremely privileged to have the help of those Sherpas!
@Ed Kahler Hey bros, i am an armchair mountain climber now!
Those sherpas, that originally left him up their! They poked him in the eyes, to see if he was gone? When Lincoln started to get in trouble, on his descent! He was at the second step! And he roped down, and pemba was on the ladder, and Lincoln slammed into him, and his crampon, punctured pemba's leg, and he was bleeding!
privaledged white guys fooling themselves that what they do is ok....... disgusted w/ the whole deal....... if i was lincoln hall i would have changed my name and moved to Idaho
Great interview. Yes, Andrew did not make the summit that day but he gained much more.
Lincoln was a good man. Rest in Peace Lincoln. 🙏🏻
Good interview. Hope the guy who helped him got another chance at the summit.
May you rest in peace Lincoln Hall. My condolences to your family.
R.I.P Lincoln Hall/ bless your family.
I am so infatuated with these stories. They are so horrible but fascinating
same for me!
I don't get why...but I just keep looking at all documentaries and movies. sigh.
A year later, same !
Holy crap! Lincoln Hall died 6 years later of Mesothelioma. I pity his wife and two boys going through that so soon after his miraculous survival on top of Mount Everest.
At least his family had 6 years with him, most of the climbers don't get that chance.
When my grandmother was passing, she thought that she was on a ship trying to find Bob Barker and give him the check in her purse. 🌙❤
I am pleased that God Held you for your family!
Bob Barker??? Wth?
Right? Come on down! 🤣❤
Licoln hall is amazing. He is a real loving caring wise man.
He left his wonderful wife and loving little kids at home to go risk his own life and lives of many others around him to climb a mountain with some snow covered on top.
We love you and look up to you. Your a real inspiration. Our world will never be the same . Good Job Lincoln 👍 we should encourage more man to be like you
I watched Greg Child's show about the 1990 K2 expedition at Portland State. I believe they auctioned a Chouinard Ice Axe (juuust prior to it switching to Black Diamond brand) which I won. In any case his story was absolutely stunning. It was a slideshow with him telling the story. Heckuva guy.
My dad had a similar situation 30 years ago in the Alps. He was up there 3 days. Thin air wasn’t a problem, but his bones were looking out of the flesh, broken. They didn’t find him because he told nobody where he was going& mobile phones didn’t exist.
His finding was maybe even more mysterical then Lincolns story. Involving someone „concentrating“ 3000 miles away.🤔
Because it’s so difficult to understand, he doesn’t like to talk about it.
Swiss TV made doc longtime ago. Which is luckily lost or at least not online.
Wot?
Concentrating. Ummmm what!? Explain
@@michiganwoodsman2199 Remote viewing would be the proper term.
Perhaps you would be willing to summarize what you know of those events with your father here since long comments are allowed and it would be of great interest to many of us who are interested in mountaineering and the mountaineers who survive terrible odds.
@@jamesb.9155 Google: “L'alpinista, la veggente”
Somehow I don’t get the link of the documentary posted.
And oh, it’s in Italian. 😬
I love the mountains and watching these videos about amazing events in the Himalaya. I have been pretty high there back in 1990, and appreciate what they say about the wind and cold etc. and how energy draining it can be, though I was never in the so-called Death Zone, where I can only imagine the effects at that extra altitude. The only thing that's a little negative is the drawn out nature of these interviews. Surely Lincoln Hall has recounted these events many times, but he talks as if it's the first time he's had to think about what happened, and as a result it goes painfully slowly. This one could have been sewn up in 10 to 15 minutes maximum.
Andrew Brash did manage to summit Everest later, in 2008
He was rescued because he had rescued someone else at one time. What goes around comes around.
God DOES keep records.
That's true!
I agree
What God. Their is only One. Jesus, and he didn't believe in Jesus. Sad deal
R.I.P Lincoln Hall.
One great kudo for mankind! Living by Hillary's word.
I just dpnt get that Hall never paid for Osborne after he sacrificed his one time chance . If no money ok but seems he had money.
He said he was alone on the summit??? Please clarify. Were SHerpas with him?
Strange than fiction, worth making a Bollywood movie, the meditation saved Lincoln Hall great rescue mission by Andrew Brash
I hope all the people who walked past living climbers, and left them for dead without even walking over to check on them are watching this, especially all the people who did this in 2019. Maybe they can get a lesson on how to be a decent human being. I like how he has that the climb is an ambition, but compared to a life it's well below( I'm paraphrasing). Most of the other climbers of Everest seem to feel, they've paid their money, nothing is going to interfere with their summiting, and if you get sick or injured, tough s#$%. I'm glad to know their are still some decent people in the world who realize that the life of a human being is worth more than You taking a selfie on top of Everest.
You don't know what you're talking about. It's next to impossible for a rescue at that altitude. Attempting to try and rescue someone else, is risking death.
@@4wpfinat914 where there's a WILL there's a WAY
@@scottsmith4145 obviously you've never climbed.
@@4wpfinat914 Wrong. I used to be a mountaineer and rock climber. Never climbed above 8000m though but my mentality doesnt change. The same spirit that drives men push themselves to summit amazingly difficult peaks is the same that allows men to help others in need.
@@scottsmith4145 try hauling back a dead man, next time you're up there. See how far you get, before risking your life. Mountaineers are aware of the risk. And I'll bet not a one would say, risk your life, carrying them back. I wonder how many men Conrad Ankor or Alex Lowe, before he was killed carried back.above 8000. You are hypothesizing what you would do, if you were in that scenario, with no practical experience. That's hilarious. Jude not less he.... 🤣
Hall should have paid for the guy who saved him to go back to Everest The young guy was not wealthy he actullay had to save and will never be able to return visits Everest he know he has the cash
Mountain biking at dusk one bleak winter evening a father and boy stop me asking detailed directions back to parking lot. I can only point a general direction. Im lightly dressed only for competent shredding and cant go slow or lollygag. As I ditch them I think about how they were the ones who decided to maybe spend the night in stillwell woods ny. They were about to drop in at the snake pit. A hired local farmingville guatamalan day laborer wouldnt be able to save them either and would have ditched them similarly after poking their eye. I would have been inconvenienced to save them
what a "renob" he is
Stop testing God
So he climbed mt Everest with the extreme help of four other people dragging him up and down ?… when do we really say someone climbed mt Everest ?
I am absolutely amazed at the idiocy of the Majority of 8m mountaineering. The Majority have faith of some sort but its almost always the wrong faith. If I could simply show people what Jesus Christ is like and how he Loves and the relationship that can be had it would have saved this fellow.
That guy is so sour he didn't get to summit, its so obvious in his mannerisms'and his words. Lol. Hes like, what did i learn about life? Uhhh....what??? I didn't get to summit and was depressed the entire way down the mountain.
Space Alien he keeps trying to talk about his failed ambition
You would be to. Certainly he did the right thing as everyone should, but you can’t expect him to be happy about having to drop all he had trained and saved for to save a guy that maybe should not have been up there to begin with.
