Lincoln Hall is one of Australia’s best known mountaineers, and the author of Dead Lucky, the just-published book of his famous and miraculous survival on Mt. Everest in May 2006. Hall had reached the summit, but on the way down became seriously ill, and despite the efforts of the Sherpas with him, he collapsed and was declared dead. His body was left high on the mountain but miraculously he lived to tell the story – a story of willpower, survival and mystery, from a deep personal perspective and insight – with inspiration and thought-provoking lessons and insights for all walks of life.
Hall, 50, an experienced speaker and corporate presenter, has a climbing career spanning three decades, most notably in the Himalaya but also in the Antarctica and the Andes. He is the author of eight books, including the bestselling White Limbo, the account of the 1984 First Australian Everest expedition, of which he was a member. His hopes dashed that time, 22 years later he fulfilled his ambition to climb the world’s highest mountain.
He has worked as a trekking guide, has edited adventure magazines, and his work as a facilitator on Human Resource Development projects has given him a broad perspective on corporate and management issues. He is a Director of the Australian Himalayan Foundation, a charity dedicated to improving the lives of the people of the Himalaya through education, health and environment projects. He was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 1987 for his services to mountaineering. He lives with his wife, Barbara Scanlan, and their two teenage sons Dylan and Dorje, in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales.
