====Lincoln Hall rescue, 2006====
As the Sharp debate kicked off on 26 May 2006, Australian climber [[Lincoln Hall (climber)|Lincoln Hall]] was found alive after being left for dead the day before.<ref name=":2" /> He was found by a party of four climbers ([[Dan Mazur]], Andrew Brash, Myles Osborne and Jangbu Sherpa) who, giving up their own summit attempt, stayed with Hall and descended with him and a party of 11 Sherpas sent up to carry him down. Hall later fully recovered. His team assumed he had died from cerebral edema, and they were instructed to cover him with rocks.<ref name=":2">{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/nepal/1519597/Climber-declared-dead-on-Everest-is-brought-down-alive.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/nepal/1519597/Climber-declared-dead-on-Everest-is-brought-down-alive.html |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Climber declared dead on Everest is brought down alive |last=Squires|first=Nick |work=Daily Telegraph |location=United Kingdom |access-date=16 May 2017}}{{cbignore}}</ref> There were no rocks around to do this and he was abandoned.<ref name=":3">{{cite news |last=Weber |first=Bruce |date=24 March 2012 |title=Lincoln Hall, Australian Mountaineer, Dies at 56 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/25/world/asia/lincoln-hall-australian-mountaineer-dies-at-56.html |work=The New York Times |access-date=16 May 2017 |issn=0362-4331 |archive-date=26 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220326113345/https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/25/world/asia/lincoln-hall-australian-mountaineer-dies-at-56.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The erroneous information of his death was passed on to his family.
