Andrew was the recipient of our Fall 2010 District 42 Communication and Leadership Award.<br> Lincoln Hall, part of a Russian climbing team, became plagued with altitude sickness after reaching the summit. His team left him for dead on a precarious knife edge where he lay, for 12 hours, well within the notorious “death zone” of Everest. That evening Lincoln’s wife and kids were notified via satellite telephone that he had perished.<br> Andrew’s team, also climbing not far behind, came upon Lincoln, hearing a comedic welcome, “I guess you didn’t expect to find me here”. Andrew and his team sacrified their summit of Everest, only 200 meters from the top. Instead, they opted to save Lincoln and bring him down. This was no small feat as they were already short of oxygen bottles.<br> I get a chance to sit down with Andrew at his favorite coffee shop, which coincidentally is named, “<a title="Higher Ground Coffe in Calgary, Alberta, CANADA" href="http://highergroundcafe.ca/" target="_blank">Higher Ground</a>” and talk about the intrigue of climbing, solitude, leadership and what values Andrew is asked to speak about when invited to present at company events.<br> This podcast post is dedicated in remembrance of Lincoln Hall who passed away at a young 56 from a non related illness on March 20, 2012 in Sydney, Australia.<br> <a href="http://www.tdktalks.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/andrew-brash-and-lincoln-hall.gif"></a>Adventure Climbers with the Same Passion<br> You might also like<br> <a title="INNERpreneur Spotlight - No Ordinary Journey - An Interview" href="http://www.tdktalks."></a>
