Ben-Yehuda  gave up his chance at summiting Mt Everest to save a fellow climber --my hat is off to Ben.
Ben follows the choice of an other hero Sir Edmond Hillary who said he would gladly have given up his assent to rescue a climber in distress as well.

Ben said his military training in Israel helped shape his reflexive decision to rescue Irmak. "You never leave a friend in the field," he said.Ben  further said he did not even know who he was helping when he stopped qas.
Ben-Yehuda said his military training in Israel helped shape his reflexive decision to rescue Irmak. "You never leave a friend in the field," he said. Ben went on to say his action was an automatic decision but acknowledged that climbers sometimes have tunnel vision in reference to passing by a climber being left to die. Should Ben ever want a wilderness medicine course I will give him the WMO tuition.
