Daniel Mazur

Who is Daniel Mazur?

Dan Mazur is a contemporary mountain climber most widely known for leading Greg Mortenson's 1993 K2 expedition in "Three Cups of Tea" and for the rescue of Lincoln Hall, an Australian climber on Mount Everest on May 25, 2006. Lincoln Hall had been 'left for dead' by another expedition team the previous day at around 8600 meters on Everest after collapsing and failing to respond to treatment on the descent from the summit. Mazur and his fellow climbers - Andrew Brash, Myles Osborne and Jangbu Sherpa - in abandoning their own attempt on the summit in order to save Hall's life epitomised the noblest traditions of mountaineering, underscored by the death of British climber; David Sharp, a few days earlier.
