5/28/08: Dead Lucky

Author Lincoln Hall
Author Lincoln Hall

By Doug Fabrizio

Salt Lake City, UT – Lincoln Hall likes to say that on May 25, 2006, he died on Mt. Everest. It was the one of the deadliest climbing seasons on the mountain, and when Hall collapsed shortly after summiting, he was pronounced dead and left behind. His story gets really interesting though the next morning, when he was found very much alive. Lincoln Hall is in Salt Lake City, and joins Doug to tell his story.

  • Wednesday evening, May 28th, Lincoln Hall will be at the King's English Bookshop to read and sign from his book "Dead Lucky." The event begins at 7:00 p.m. For more information, call 801-484-9100 or click here
