Episode description

In 2006, Lincoln Hall summited Mount Everest for his second time. The afterglow of success was short lived as he developed symptoms of severe altitude sickness during his descent. After nine hours he was unable to move, and there were no signs of life. His family was notified of his passing, but that’s just when it gets interesting.
