Leslie Jhon Binn was only about 450 meters from reaching the top of world’s highest mountain but he decided to abandon his quest to save a fellow mountaineer an Indian woman, Sunita Hazra. Had he completed his trek up Mount Everest in the last week of May, his name would have been added to a list of 5,000-odd mountaineers (4,042 climbers till February 2014) who have scaled the world’s highest peak since the first ascent by Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953.

Hazra was lucky to have slipped besides Binns who immediately aborted his own climb. Binns who had lost an eye in while serving Bosnia, Iraq & Afghanistan , turn around to save Hazra. He is the only member of a team who could not make it. Yet, he shall remain one of the greatest that went on the trail. Because he showed humanity, compassion and conscience.
Binns bravery was appreciated in social media & facebook post is making its presence felt,its going viral. Binns had set out from the UK on April 4 for his Mt Everest expedition and was set to reach the summit on May 22. But in the final hours of his endeavour, he came across Hazra who was low on oxygen and had slipped while on he changed out her O2 bottle and tried to get her moving. Though climbers passed by, nobody apparently stopped to help Binns or Hazra. He finally clipped her to him and began dragging her down.
Binns came across another man from Hazras team who was also in distress. Screaming and yelling at the man to stand up and fight for his life, Binns eventually clipped the man onto himself as well. Sliding, falling, crawling, he continued to make his way down with these two climbers, while others continued to walk by even as he was yelling for help. Binns eventually unclipped the man and encouraged him to keep moving. Though the man was stuck in the storm all night before help arrived, Binns was able to reach his tent with Hazra.
In Hazras words : “I owe my life to him . I could return home to see my child. What else can I say?”
In Binns words: “Of course, I felt sad because I could not climb the summit. But I am happy that I have saved a life. I have received messages from many people. It really feels good.
Man like Leslie John Binns inspires humankind & gives hope that humanity still persist & conquer against selfish motives.
