Lincoln Hall
2006 was one of the deadliest Everest seasons on record. Experienced mountaineer Lincoln Hall was invited to join an expedition as a high altitude cameraman. It was his second attempt to summit the mountain, having turned back just short 22 years earlier. Shortly after reaching the summit, Hall began to behave irrationally, suffering from lack of oxygen. Aided by his loyal Sherpas for over 9 hours, he eventually collapsed and they declared him dead. His family were informed and the news hit headlines. But something happened that night that science cannot explain. The next morning Lincoln Hall was found alive by approaching climbers and his dramatic rescue began. Never before has a man been declared dead so high on Everest and survived. This is the remarkable true story of Lincoln Hall’s extraordinary journey back from beyond.
Mark Inglis, um cidadão neozelandês duplamente amputado abaixo dos joelhos, alcançou o cume do Evereste no dia 14 de Maio de 2006. Um conseguimento notável que logo foi celebrado pela imprensa e o público. Poucos dias depois descobriu-se porém que ele tinha dado com um montanhista incapacitado pelo frio, o inglês David Sharp, mas que em vez de o auxiliar, prosseguiu a escalada, deixando-o a morrer sozinho na temível Zona da Morte.
