Mountain Climbing
by Michelle Finch on May 24, 2008
Canadian Andrew Brash summited Everest for the first time on Thursday, May 21.
This is notable because Brash is one of the climbers who sacrificed his attempt in 2006 to save Australian climber Lincoln Hall. Hall had been left for dead before Brash and his team encountered him on the mountain.
Brash's success is even more impressive considering the summit was inaccessible for part of the month due to the Beijing olympic torch run.
Meanwhile Hall has just released an account of his nearly fatal Everest ascent, "Dead Lucky: Life After Death on Mt. Everest".
This is a great story all around. Karma must have been hard at work to ensure Branch made his summit, despite all the factors working against him.
