Lincolns Rock. Wentworth Falls.
Lincolns Rock, Astro shoot.
Headed out late evening to shoot some Astro photography with my astro partner, Ziggy, on a cool spring night.
For those that are not familiar with Lincolns Rock it is named after a famous local Lincoln Hall, Lincoln's Rock is more than a marvel of nature—it's a symbol of survival and resilience. This flat rock lookout, which is nestled in the heart of Wentworth Falls, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Jamison Valley.
On May 26, 2006, an extraordinary event unfolded on the cold, unforgiving slopes of Mount Everest. Once again, Lincoln Hall had just achieved the incredible feat of reaching the world’s most famous summit. However, the joy of his accomplishment was short-lived. As he began to descend, Hall began to experience severe symptoms of cerebral edema—a life-threatening condition caused by the lack of oxygen at high altitude.
The Sherpas made the decision to leave Hall as he showed severe signs of Cerebral Endema.
The next day, a group of climbers ascended the same route and made a shocking discovery. They found Hall, not lifeless as expected, but seated cross-legged on a narrow ledge.
Despite having spent a freezing night without shelter or supplemental oxygen in Everest's 'death zone', Hall was, incredibly, alive. Despite this, he was still severely frostbitten, disoriented, and weak. A massive rescue mission was launched, and Hall was taken back down the mountain, losing only his fingertips and a toe.
His miraculous survival is a testament to the power of human will and resilience. It underscores the fact that while nature is an awe-inspiring spectacle, it is also a formidable adversary.
Lincoln Hall has died in a Sydney hospital from mesothelioma in 2012.
Lincolns Rock has now become selfie heaven with the Insta. crowd and is extremely popular place for Sydney siders for a mobile phone snap.
