::Lincoln Hall presents Dead Lucky: Life After Death on Mount Everest::

Think it was hard to climb out of bed this morning? Try climbing down Mount Everest. Dead.

That was almost the fate for mountaineer Lincoln Hall three years ago as he was pronounced dead on the mountain. Dead Lucky describes in fascinating detail how how he miraculously survived a night out in the open without oxygen in Mount Everest's "death zone" to tell his story of survival against all odds.

Join REI Houston for an intimate evening with Australian writer & mountaineer, Lincoln Hall, as he discusses his encounters on Mount Everest and his book Dead Lucky: Life After Death on Mount Everest.
