Inspirations: Saving a life on Everest
Mountaineer Leslie Binns gave up his dream of conquering Everest to save another climber.
Former soldier Leslie Binns was just 400 metres from achieving his lifelong dream of reaching the summit of Everest, when he came across an Indian climber who was in real danger. Sunita Hazra was running out of oxygen and would have died if it were not for Leslie who helped her back down the mountain. Leslie is a nominee for Outlook Inspirations 2018, you can find the other nominees via this link: www.bbcworldservice.com/outlookinspirations.
