Sinopsis
You may recall the riveting Emmy-nominated Dateline documentary about Lincoln Hall, the 50-year-old veteran mountain climber who miraculously survived a night out in the open without oxygen in Mt. Everest's “death zone” after being left for dead by members of his expedition. Hall's survival made headlines around the world, but aside from an exclusive interview with Dateline and the Today Show, Hall has remained quiet about his experience. Now, for the first time, Lincoln shares his own account of what happened during those twilight hours in the “death zone” and the events that preceded and followed that fateful night in DEAD LUCKY: Life After Death on Mount Everest. Lincoln Hall likes to say that on the evening of May 25, 2006 he died on Everest. Indeed, Hall attempted to climb the mountain during a deadly season in which eleven people perished. And Hall, in fact, was pronounced dead, after collapsing from cerebral oedema (also known as “altitude sickness”) shortly after reaching the summit. Two sherpas spent hours trying to revive him but, as darkness fell, the expedition's leader ordered via radio that the sherpas should descend in order to save themselves. Hall was pronounced dead and the news of his death traveled rapidly from mountaineering websites to news media around the world, and ultimately to Hall's wife and two sons back in Australia. Early the next morning, an American guide climbing with two clients and a Sherpa was startled to find Hall sitting cross-legged on a sharp crest of the summit ridge just staring at them. Not only is Hall's story amazing, his writing is too. A bestseller in Australia, Dead Lucky has been called “gripping” (The Sun Herald), “compelling” (The Sunday Telegraph), “vivid…incredible, educational, spiritual, and entertaining” (Independent Weekly), and “inspirational” (Outdoor Australia Magazine). As a sign of its caliber, the Australian edition of Dead Lucky was awarded a Special Jury Mention at the Banff Mountain Book Festival in November 07.

I am a private collector (also a fell runner, skier & mountaineer) who, after collecting Mountaineering and Travel books for almost 50 years, now need to start shifting some of the collection due to space constrictions.
