- Pronounced Dead to his Family and Friends near the summit of Mount Everest, the legendary story of Australian climber Lincoln Hall lived to tell the tale.
Lincoln Hall narrowly survived after his ascent of Mount Everest in 2006. He was left for dead at an altitude of 8700m while descending from the summit on 25 May 2006. He had fallen ill from a form of altitude sickness, probably cerebral edema, that caused him to hallucinate and become confused. According to reports, Hall's Sherpa guides attempted to rescue him for hours. However, as night began to fall their oxygen supplies diminished and snow blindness set in. Expedition leader Alexander Abramov eventually ordered the guides to leave the apparently dead Hall on the mountain and return to camp. A statement was later released announcing his death to his friends and family.
However, the next morning, 12 hours later, Hall was found still alive by a team making a summit attempt. The team consisted of team leader Daniel Mazur (U.S.), Andrew Brash (Canada), Myles Osborne (UK), and Jangbu Sherpa (Nepal). Osborne described the scene just below the Second Step:
"Sitting to our left, about two feet from a 10,000 foot drop, was a man. Not dead, not sleeping, but sitting cross legged, in the process of changing his shirt. He had his down suit unzipped to the waist, his arms out of the sleeves, was wearing no hat, no gloves, no sunglasses, had no oxygen mask, regulator, ice axe, oxygen, no sleeping bag, no mattress, no food nor water bottle. 'I imagine you're surprised to see me here', he said. Now, this was a moment of total disbelief to us all. Here was a gentleman, apparently lucid, who had spent the night without oxygen at 8600m, without proper equipment and barely clothed. And ALIVE."
A rescue effort that mountain observers described as "unprecedented in scale" then swung into action. Mazur and his team abandoned their summit attempt to stay with Hall, who was badly frostbitten and delusional from the effects of severe cerebral edema. At the same time, Abramov dispatched a rescue team of 12 Sherpas guides from the base camp. The rescue team comprised Ongshu Sherpa, Nima Wangde Sherpa, Passang Sherpa, Furba Rushakj Sherpa, Dawa Tenzing Sherpa, Dorjee Sherpa, Mingma Sherpa, Mingma Dorjee Sherpa, Pemba Sherpa, Pemba Nuru Sherpa, Passang Gaylgen Sherpa, and Lakcha Sherpa.
Hall was brought down the mountain, walking the last part of the way to Everest's North Col where he was treated by a Russian doctor Andrey Selivanov. He arrived at Advanced Base Camp the next day in reasonably good health although suffering from frostbite and the lingering effects of cerebral edema. He lost the tips of his fingers and a toe to frostbite.[9]
Hall's survival and rescue came shortly after the death of UK climber David Sharp on the mountain. No attempt was made to rescue Sharp. While he was unconscious but still alive, other climbers passed him and continued on their own ascents. However, unlike David Sharp, Hall was conscious and able to walk, two factors that allowed for his rescue. The case had raised concerns, including comments from Sir Edmund Hillary.[10] Dan Mazur said of his team abandoning their summit attempt, "The summit is still there and we can go back. Lincoln only has one life."
After Everest
He remained close with Myles Osborne, who sacrificed his only attempt on Everest to aid Hall. Osborne says Hall was "a great guy, really laid back, with a penchant for bad jokes." Dateline NBC aired Left for Dead on Mount Everest, an Emmy Award-nominated documentary special, in 2006.
Hall wrote two books about his experience: Dead Lucky: Life after death on Mount Everest (2007) and Alive In The Death Zone: Mount Everest Survival (2008).
A second documentary, Miracle on Everest, based on Hall's book Dead Lucky, premiered in 2008 on National Geographic Channel in the USA and on ABC1 in Australia.
Death
Hall died on 20 March 2012 at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, after suffering from mesothelioma. He had been exposed to asbestos while working as a builder in the 1960s.
Friend and fellow mountaineer Greg Mortimer, who was with Lincoln at the end, said: "It was very peaceful in the end, around 11:45 last night. Lincoln got into quiet, rhythmic breathing-it was almost meditative-and then he quietly slipped away". Hall lived in the Blue Mountains in New South Wales with his wife and two sons, who survived him.

There have been several amazing Everest survival stories; this one's at the top.
I used to watch them on a channel called Mountain Springs. It was FULL of mountaineering docus
No pun intended? ......
@@MUFC1933 😆
Fuk the fellas that can't start a lawnmower.. Seriously
I saw 2-3
All sad stories of ambition and death
That guy who gave up his summit is a real climber! He went up there and saved a life. Not many people who have stepped on the top have that honor.
Yeah, but it cut Miles to his heart that he had to turn back. He had worked hard to save up that $25,000. But he made the right decision.
@@cowdaddy4595 in my opinion those people should get a big award.
summit certificate? should not matter.
The sherpas are the badasses of Everest
@@jeffo4817 u r a nonsense person
Not many people can say they saved a life near the summit of Everest. Worth more than $25000.
Respect to the climber who gave up his dream to save someone's life.
…… the best accolade any human could be proud of!
YES...if not for them, he was a DEAD man!
@a nu start absolutely
it's just common decency
@@watonemillion not when it’s an extremely difficult rescue, not everyone can do it
The Sherpa's are SUPER HEROES in any EVEREST climb.
Absolutely!!! To all the Sherpas: 👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹😊
And no where near paid enough! God bless the sherpas!
@@brandonthomas303 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Not just on Everest.
@@brandonthomas303 how much do they get paid?
Anyone who turns down reaching the summit to save someone's life; how much more special is that.
Well done Myles Osborne and every Sherpa who helped save his life.
Either theres more than one sherpa named Pemba or this guy has been in almost every tragic story on Everest and K2. What freaking heroes these sherpas are!
Might be the same guy but I heard on a different Mtn climbing story that most Sherpas' first name is the day of week they were born. I'll bet Pemba is Saturday, no way a Wednesday would do such great deeds.
nathanb is right. Another interesting fact, the Sherpa language has no writing system.
Pemba is a very common Sherpa name
My exact conundrum right now
Lol that’s exactly how it is where I’m from with Doctors last names (from India) all being Patel. Like even when their kids marry they don’t change their last name bc it was already Patel. Weird but fact lol!
Kudos to the heroes who stopped. The summit is nothing, you saved a life which is worth more than the summit will ever be.
Some people die on Everest trying to help other people get down off the mountain.
@@janicetribble461 Yes, lots of Sherpas die trying to get a person that already was dead even.
The summit is not nothing though - it's the goal of people who have worked thousands of hours for years to save up just to get there + physically trained for months. Giving up your dream & putting your life in danger for a stranger is not the only moral choice. These choices affect your whole family too & not everyone wants to prioritise strangers over the welfare of their kids etc.
That would depend on the life.
It's not nothing. If you've gone far enough to be there pushing for it, it is likely everything to you.
The American teams who found Lincoln alive gave him fluid and waited till help arrived so I believe credit should be given to the team of four people who found him alive.👍
I remember reading about that when it happened and it was on our news too.
I hope the American team made to summit
It was actually a multinational team with a leader from the US. The other three climbers were from Canada, the UK (which is why Myles has a British accent) and Nepal.
They were Mexicans that found him and carried him down
@@jaguaron007 u didnt watch the whole video 🤦🏾♂️
Myles and his party are true heroes. Unselfish, caring, and extremely righteous people. I hope they have had some good things go their ways.
For this [and so much more] Dan Mazur was awarded the Hillary Medal. Dan’s tireless work on Mt. Everest, in both saving lives and preserving the Himalaya deserves to be recognized and celebrated.
Congrats Dan Mazur and everyone who honors the mountains.
Except it shouldn’t be called “the Hillary Medal”
Well said what a legend Dan was x
@@gghstlr What should it be called?
Tenzing medal? Mallory medal? Lol
@@DazedAlligator especially if its funded by the hillary foundation. If they want it named after someone else, let them fund it. Besides nowadays i dont know anyone who doesnt know that both Hillary and Norgay both summitted first, even Hillary has never stated who really was first to reach it. Everyone acknowledges the role Tenseng had.
I think they should nominate them for the Presidential medal of freedom and Congressional Gold medal 🏅
Incredible story. Hats off to the guys who put their dream of being on the Everest aside and instead saved a human life. Of course, without Sherpas even thinking of Everest is not possible. Humble human beings.
People were thinking of Mount Everest before they knew of any Sherpa, and some climb independently or do solo expeditions without sherpas.
@@shaiaheyes2c41 Without Sherpas carrying all the neccessities, most would turn back before they get far. Without Sherpas, most would not make it past the second camp. They can think of Everest all they want: Being there is completely different.
@@cs-mh2dh
Porters carry supplies, sherpas are guides from a specific region. Regardless, many do it in the confines of their own team. No expedition can exist without a supply chain, I'm not even sure what your point is regarding that.
There are no sherpas on McKinley, people still go up, it gets -80 there and is considered an incredibly dangerous summit. No sherpas in the Alps, people still go up the Matterhorn, again, incredibly dangerous. No sherpas in Ghost Wilderness, Patagonia, etc etc etc etc... people still go up.
All respect to the sherpas as people and as climbers, but I don't know why you see it as anything other than disrespect to dismiss life long alpinists as completely incapable without a sherpa holding their hand.
Andrew Brash, a high school teacher, was 200m from the top of the world's highest mountain in 2006. When he cut his trip short to rescue Australian climber Lincoln Hall, who had been left for dead suffering from altitude sickness.
@@cs-mh2dh Well said! Sherpas and porters get these ''Alpinists'' to where they want to be, by carrying their expedition stuff .
I hope the guy who saved him,got to realize his dream because what he did was beyond heroism..💖
No, unfortunately he has not yet reached the summit.
Of the four climbers to help Lincoln: Andrew Brash (Canada) summited Everest in 2009; Daniel Mazur (U.S.) in 2011; Jangbu Sherpa (Nepal) well I can't be sure with a name as common but presumably yes. For the climber interviewed in this documentary, Myles Osborne (UK), this 2006 bid was his one chance at the summit. I hope he takes solace in the fact that he simultaneously had a once in a lifetime opportunity to save Lincoln Hall.
@@StNeurion Lopsang Jangbu Sherpa died on his fifth ascent attempt in September 1996. He was part of the infamous season profiled in Jon Krakauer's book 'Into Thin Air.' He survived that, only to die months later.
@@josi4251 That is amazing! So he was able to save Lincoln Hall in the spring of 2006, a whole decade after his own death! Like I said, "Jangbu Sherpa" is a common name, and accurately identifying which one was part of Daniel Mazur's climbing team in 2006 takes more than a simple google search.
@@josi4251 wow, poor guy he was like 23 in 1996 when he saved a woman called Sindy!
Honestly, saving a person's life is a much greater achievement than reaching the summit of Everest. Lives are irreplaceable. I hope Miles can look at it like that now. ❤
What is so sad is 6 years later, Lincoln died of mesothelioma! Rest in power!
You almost have to think that his 24+ hours in the death zone, may have aggravated his lungs to the point mesothelioma kicked in early. The mountain got him after all.
The Sherpas are a Godsend for the Mountain climbers of the Himalayas. They help you with the most difficult tasks, looking after you camping and other paraphernalia and giving you a helping hand whenever you need it. At the end of it, they do not take any credit for themselves, happy to give you all the credit. Incredible people. Thank you Sherpa tribe.
A life vs. a mountain....Congratulations Myles! You concured that mountain by helping to give someone back their life.
Conquered
Myles didn't save him A climber from Calgary Alberta did...Andrew Brash, a high school teacher, was 200m from the top of the world's highest mountain in 2006. When he cut his trip short to rescue Australian climber Lincoln Hall, who had been left for dead suffering from altitude sickness.
I hope that Myles now realizes that he saved all that time and endured what he did to be PRECISELY where he was supposed to be to save Lincoln Hall. His heroics are such a shining example of love for his fellow man that his name will be remembered for something SO much bigger than being of those who summited.
But the David Sharpe death is a perfect example of a toxic media spinning things to the worst possible light and attacking the reputations and shamefully downgrade achievements like the man who was the first double amputee climber to successfully summit. I’m no mountaineer and personally think these guys all have a death wish but the unfairness of that sad event makes THIS story one of humanity at it’s finest.
It's an interesting story that one, and I don't think anyone is telling the truth. One of the party members from that team is clearly traumatised at what happened and cant reconcile with it, but wont betray his friends by speaking. Two others skirt around it, Mark is cut and dry, but something doesn't sound quite right. I think the traumatised guy feels he left a man to die that he could have saved. whether he is correct in his assessment, I'm not sure.
I think Mark was going up and would have stepped over his own mother to do so. He knew that was the only time he would be there, and nothing was going to stop him from going up. He gave a lot of reasons why he couldn't be helped, but in a way they came across as justification.
My take on it is, they found the guy, and he was pretty badly gone, likely not able to be helped, and certainly not by a double amputee. But still coherent enough for the human side of you to be compelled to save a life. Two of the team understood the reality, the other didn't want to accept it, and Mark basically said "he's a dead man, let's go". The team voted to move on, but one of them took huge moral issues with how Mark handled it.

Amen to that...add animals too please.
@kasgarragsak9866, uh, how are animals not included in his statement?
Hats off to Myles and other team members for their heroic deed. Saving a life is the real mission accomplished. Sherpas too deserve appreciation for their values and courage.

They have names.
@truth hurts stop repeating yourself. Of course they have names. We don't know who they are so how would we know their names?
how they got treated??????????
um, lincoln wasnt in control of himself thats not fair to him or them
@@rchristy4540 but this video named all of them.................................
Oh, those Sherpas, though! So brave and kind!
What this incident tells me is that there's more variety in terms of human capability and endurance than has been explored by science.
They need to be paid more too..
@@janetdonald9801 - Agreed!
@@janetdonald9801 A common idea, but truthfully, they are paid very well, since they don't have to acquire any qualification to perform the work (which means they're not accruing 100k debt before the start working), and especially for the region. The more they get paid, the less work there will be as a result of increasing costs. And the Sherpa haven't had a problem striking in the past when it became too dangerous. They are not just hapless underpaid workers, they often organise tours. They get paid what people are willing to pay. If they wanted to get paid more, they would simply charge more. They are not slaves.
@@CharlesFreck what? Without them nobody is going anywhere. They risk their lives for the job. They should be paid more.
You don't know about human capability and endurance until you are in a situation and fighting for your life. Or watching someone else fight for theirs
I found your channel last night and I'm obsessed now. I've never had an interest in mountain climbing but these stories are so fascinating.
Welcome aboard!
@@DavidSnowClimbing thanks!
I too have never had any interest in climbing. That being said I am now hooked. To put one's self in a position that is likely to end ones life, ( Cerebral edema....GOOD GOD) in the pursuit of this goal is still hard to grasp but I can't help but admire such single minded d dedication. To accomplish a feat such as this says much about the rare individuals who succeed. Truly incredible.
@@roxannealcazar2336 I agree 100%
@@DavidSnowClimbing Why aren't there "life nodes" erected at 8,700m & 8,600m & 8,500m?
Life node would be a tent or two with:
Oxygen bottles; Intravenous saline; Gamow bags; Radio; Bear flares; Sleeping bags
Tent heater; Cooking stove; Food/drink; Dexamethasone & adrenaline injections.
Each climber would pay $1K per trip as a life node service fee.
Saving a life would mean more to me than a mountain.
I hope someone paid for that guy to go again. He's a true hero!
Someone should of started a gofundme for all 4 of the guys that gave up their dream that day to save him. Did they?
@@paularcher24there was no such thing at the time ya plum ...did you
Unimaginable rollercoaster 🎢 of emotions. I can't quite wrap my little brain around what it would be like to experience the crushing helplessness losing someone important to you brings, only to have it reversed and find him in relatively amazingly good condition considering he was literally left for dead in the Death Zone. It is too fantastical to be fictional. Salute to all the Heroes that saved his life.🙏
Shortly after Lincoln's book came out he was doing a book tour. I had just finished reading his book and was reading info in the back. It mentioned a tour and gave a web site to look up dates and places. He was coming to Ann Arbor, MI the following week. Of course I was there and had the pleasure of meeting him. He signed my book and was truly a lovely person. One of my favorite days. He has since passed but, not on a mountain.
Truly amazing. The climbers who rescued him are honorable men, as are the fantastic sherpas.
Most honourable men.❤🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@louise-yo7kz Not to focus excessively on the American expedition leader, but I enjoy being reminded that America has produced people of this quality. It is too easy today to lapse into cynicism. I wonder, on the other hand, how much the past five years have corrupted our national character.
@MendTheWorld Ot wasn't just the past 5 years, it's just started to show more😢
I've been watching stories of mountaineering tragedies that are heartbreaking but this story of survival moved me like none other. When we are stripped back to what really matters the human spirit is amazing.
Yes, it reminds me of the song 'Stripped' by Depeche Mode.
There is simply no end to how impressive these Sherpas are. Physically, and the depth of their compassion. For one to wonder if there is good in the world - they need not look further than a Sherpa.
We should be electing then as Global Leaders. Instead they get treated like Bell Hoops.
Our stupidity is even more amazing…
They have names.
Well Said!!
@@truthhurts837 they do have names but he is talking about all Sherpas not just the ones who helped people recognize their dreams in this documentary.
global leaders?
@@truthhurts837 LOLOL...You can't possibly be s e r I o u s...REALLY!!!
Sherpas are the true soul of the journey.
Those Sherpa's need a damn raise! I would never climb without them.
They have names.
Dear@DonaId J. Trump we are talking this specific, offcouse there can be bad ones also but its true in all cataogories isn't is so..
Majorly they have been the backbone of the journey. Financial reimbursement is one side, efforts must be appreciated, what's at stake in such harsh conditions those who face knows..
Deep respect for the team that sacrificed their ambition to save a strangers life. We all have to live with the decisions we make. And it may have been bitterly disappointing let go of their summit ambitions, but for the rest of their lives, they can all look in the mirror each day and KNOW that they are the best that human beings can be.
Massive RESPECT to all the climbers who sacrificed their dream to save Lincoln’s life. Humanity at its finest.
A lot more people have climbed Everest than have done what Myles and his team did. Genuine heroes.
I was so touched by this amazing story. I cried from the time it was confirmed that he was alive until the story was over, and I am not a weeper. May all the gods bless this man, his Sherpas, and his family.
Maybe it sounds strange, but I knew he would be alive from the start of the video when he started to tell his story.
By the way poor guy died later in 2012 in cancer.
@@telelaci2 "Poor guy"? He only miraculously survived an event that would have killed him because a climber who had the decency and morality to try to save him happened upon him. A decency, I may add, that Hall didn't afford David Sharp. So he was given an extra 6 years he had no business in having. He wasn't "poor" or pitiable at all.
@@janda5816 David Sharp passed away 15 May. Lincoln Hall summited Everest on 25 May. Please educate yourself before responding.
@Eleanor u should watch the movie Everest (Rob Hall) happened a decade b4 this incident 👌🏽
Thank you David Snow for this. So happy the other climbers decided to help him rather than leaving him for dead. They are hero’s along with the sherpa’s Myles and all of them. Glad it turned to a happy story.
Just bought the book Into Thin Air. The 1996 Everest story.
Most of us sit in our living rooms, warm and safe.
These climbers are beyond extraordinary.
They truly lived a passion.
Many died from that passion.
Everest is a mountaon who decides the final outcome.
The wonderful Sherpas ♥️
Miles ❤️ your selflessness is inspiring. It doesn't seem enough to say Thank you for saving our Aussie brother.
Another beautiful documentary David Snow.🌹🤗
"We could have one climber dead and 3 Sherpas"...as if Sherpas aren't climbers! Bless these superheroes.
Such a well done video. I've been binge watching Everest stories but feel I've "summited" with this one. Tragedy and triumph, tears of sadness and joy, and almost more heroic efforts than one story can contain. So so very well done.
"Everest" documentary, and a book titled "Into Thin Air" written by Jon Krakauer.
One of the greatest channels I’ve ever come across. This channel is incredible.
Amazing story of human resilience and a little help from three angels. God bless the sherpa that saved him.
Thank you David Snow, your
documentary’s on the triumphs and tragedy’s on Everest are amazingly
well done.
I totally agree with that.
They are not "his" documentaries...
Just because you post something on TH-cam doesn't mean you made it...
Does it matter?
@@hensolo3262 yes. yes it does
Well, allright then. I will pass the message on to my siblings.
What a Hero to put another Life first. That is a true Humanitarian.
Thank you for this terrific documentary.
This is extremely humbling to watch. I'm forced to look at myself in a deeper way, and it horrifies me that I'd be useless in a rescue mission - whichever end of it I'm on.
I lived in the beautiful Blue Mountains when the Hall's did, but I didn't know them then. I worked nights as an RN at the local hospital and when I came home in the morning from a shift my eldest daughter said to me "Do you know that Lincoln Hall's son was dancing naked on your roof last night?" I said "Who's Lincoln Hall?". And then I preceded to get an education about who this man was and WHY I needed to know about him. I know that he has passed as has Pemba Sherpa who helped him to get down off that great mountain and get him back home to his loved ones. May they, Lincoln and Pemba both rest in peace.
This story never ceases to amaze me. It's amazing- it's incredible. Other than that I'm speechless
What an incredible story… it’s an actual miracle! This is just amazing ❤️❤️❤️
What a miracle!!! Man with most nap on Everest
Lol funny
No, that was Beck Weathers.
that makes no sense
Watching this again David I love your content
I spent watching and crying...I'm so touched, and now I believe that somehow, somewhere miracle is REAL !!! Love from the Philippines. I admired the beauty and the danger that Mt. Everest have.
Holy crap. Such humble and sincere heroes like people giving up dreams and to save a stranger is absolutely a angel on earth. Wow

The sherpas are the true heroes of the mountain. They're working hard and in the quiet all the time. I hope they're getting the right paid for the amazing job they do. Without them nobody would reach the summit or getting anywhere, true heroes
Not all of them. Most, for sure, but definitely not all of them.
Myles Osborne: "I got so many emails from friends at home who'd said, I don't know what I would have done if I'd read that you'd left this guy and gone on to the summit".
Great line. Says it all.
Thanks for sharing this story
Good film, great story. I am very happy I never could acclimatize above 6,000 meters. Over a 30 year period I went everywhere and had a great time just not staying long above 6,000 meters.
...i can't .. it's a fabulous story which should be known by each and every mountaineer and climber.
I watch tons of videos on Everest and K2 but this is one of my favorite! What a story!!
This is a tremendous story of valiant sherpas risking their lives to save a life.
Extraordinary! Well done...
Great documentary and enthralling story telling 🙏
Breathtaking. Amazing story!
Amazing what caring souls can achieve anywhere in the world with compassion and empathy !!! 💙💯 Great job man who saved Lincoln !!!! Respect 💙
man???????????????
there were many
the unsung heroes are the Sherpas, lets face it, the vast majority of climbers would never summit if it wasn't for their epic heroism and sacrifice, the climbers should be paying them FAR more and they should get more credit then they do.
Waw ! Quite amazed by this story. Great to see he & the sherpas survived.
Omigoodness!!!! Total Goosebumps!!
What an amazing story he has to tell. And that's a good thing.
So weird to continue climbing after people dying, then to come across their bodies and keep going is nuts to me.
Nothing you can do period... at summit or near almost 100% impossible. At summit it takes 3 breathes to equal 1 breath at sea level.
Hall survived because he was conscious and able to walk. Without these, no one can help him. So sad that David Sharp did not qualify these conditions, and his death is inevitable.
I enjoyed this video more than any I have seen to date. The selflessness of the characters bear testimony to the spirit of humanity. Thank you Lincoln.
I've met Lincoln and he is such an incredible person, he has endless time for young climbers and has come out to speak to the Australian national rock climbing team multiple times to share wisdom and knowledge- all for free, just a great person overall.
Wow
He died in 2012
Are you sure ... as someone said he died in 2012 from mesothelioma caused by asbestos...me thinks you are a clout hog
David thanks for your work here.. get all this thogheter is a great job you do for us
Immense respect to Miles, Sherpas and all the other guys who stayed with Lincoln. People likes Miles are a beacon of hope. I wish you all the happiness and health in the world. What you did, no one could have in the given condition.
One of the better climbing docus about Lincoln Hall and the summit they did during those days
Wow... im suprised how much effort they put into saving him
The recreation is amazing.
Amazing documentary.
This really tests a person's character. I admire this quest, that I would and could not do. I would have passed out at base camp!
Same, I wouldn't ever try this even if I could afford it. I don't do well in cold weather, let alone climbing in that kind of cold!
Amazing story! So glad Lincoln survived. Thanks to these incredible Sherpa’s. Too bad in reality these Sherpas get pay next to nothing for their hard work.
Amazing. Thank you
Andrew Brash, a high school teacher, was 200m from the top of the world's highest mountain in 2006. When he cut his trip short to rescue Australian climber Lincoln Hall, who had been left for dead suffering from altitude sickness.
I would HOPE I'd do the same but I won't say I absolutely would. The reason is because in the moment no one knows what they would do. ❤️
Miles, a true champion.
I heard an Ukrainian guy talking from camp of Everest saying they agree in their team if one guy has to be helped before summit , not left to die then that guy should pay others for second trip! I think that is fair and healthy decision!
BRILLIANT Thank you Everyone
Genuinely the Sherpa's are the real heroes and legends of these high altitude adventures...they enable visitors to play in their mountains. Guide, rescue, recover personal items...whatever is needed. They need to be paid accordingly! Absolutely amazing that Lincoln managed to survive though...respect to the climbers that turned their summit attempt into a rescue effort
I hope he continues to financially help those Sherpas every year. They have much harder than other people. He owes them his life.
Don’t forget about the 4 guys that came upon him and saved him from jumping or rolling off the ledge. They are owed some gratitude as well
Sadly he passed in 2012

The men who gave up their own climb to save him deserved tremendous respect for their selfless actions. Does anyone know if they ever returned to climb Everest? The sherpas as well did more than any other humans would have to try and save him.
this lincoln guy, should had devoted his remaining life to fund another expedition for the team that canceled its ascend to save him, and send the serpa's kids to school

I agree. He Basically robbed that guy of the $15,000 he paid to be there. An experienced climber like that, he had to know he was pushing it too far and just refused to turn around. Others paid for it.
Myles & party are the hero who deserves more recognition they gave of dream of theirs life & life time money but still went onto save him...
Unlike many mean past issues..🙏🙏🙏
Wish he could be sponsered to fullfill his dream he deserves more than anyone & anything..
Miles you are amazing. The sherpas too.
So interesting. Thank you.
Respect to the Sherpas, the people who make it all possible and who does the real lifting.
I absolutely love 💕 your videos! I’m 58 year old woman that loves nopal and would love to go there just to give to theSherpas and their families, they should get all the money not the government! It’s so sad when I hear about a Sherpa passing to save a life of a rich egotistical minded people, their families are without when they’re husbands die.
That isn't old!!!
@@sg-yq8pm she's absolutely right.
Holy boomer
I agree with you .the sherpas have always been the true hero’s.
