Rescue on Everest Laurie Graham tells the story of a Canadian who abandoned his dream of reaching the summit of Mount Everest........and the man he stopped to rescue. View Video (13:29 min.)

Last May, a Canadian sacrificed his chance to reach the
summit of Mount Everest to save a climber left for dead. Here’s his
exclusive account of the events that transpired on the mountain. Online The Hamilton Spectator | Making
headlines runs in the family Brash's son Andrew made headlines around the world in June when he abandoned his dream just 200 metres from the top of Mount Everest to help rescue another climber who had been left for dead. Brash has also saved lives while climbing his own mountain for the last 35 years as a pioneer in biomedical engineering, creating and improving man-made health-care devices used inside the body. "We're inching closer," he said. "My
son got within 200 metres of the summit and we're in that position. We're
close to the top, although it's a difficult way and it's not clear how
we're going to get there." View Article [AndrewBrash.com] NepalNews.com | Himalayan Heartbeat
organized in Canada Renowned Canadian mountaineer, Andrew Brash, who helped save a veteran Australian mountaineer and author, Lincoln Hall, on the Mount Everest, has said that the Himalayas present extreme challenges that humble any seasoned mountaineer but a spontaneously presented human tragedy that made him abandon his climb to help save another person has profoundly affected his life afterwards. He was speaking at an event on Nepal in the Canadian capital, Ottawa, on Saturday. View Article [NepalNews.com] National Geographic | Everest
in 2006: The Mad Season Eventually, however, Abramov recruited 11 Sherpas As the time passed (four hours, eventually), Mazur and his three companions realized that they were almost certainly sacrificing their own summit chances to save Hall. Mazur and Jangbu Sherpa were guiding for Mazur's SummitClimb outfit; Andrew Brash and Myles Osborne, though experienced climbers, were paying clients. "We could maybe have left him," reflects Mazur, "knowing the Sherpas were coming up. I'd summited Everest before and so had Jangbu, but for Myles and Andrew, it would be their only chance. "The last thing I wanted to do that day was find
this guy. I didn't want to get involved in a rescue. My job is to get
my partners up the mountain and back down safely." View Article [NationalGeographic.com] Calgary Sun | Peak of endeavour He may not have summited Mount Everest, but Andrew Brash’s accomplishment should earn him more acclaim than reaching the top of a mere mountain. Days ago, the world was left shaking its head at the story of a British climber left to die on Everest, while up to 30 others failed to come to his aid in their own quest to get to the top. A similar scenario almost played out a few days later, when Australian Lincoln Hall was left on the mountain for dead. But he’s alive today thanks to the efforts of Brash, a 37-year-old Calgary teacher, and his team. View Article [AndrewBrash.com] CBC News Online | Canadians
and Mount Everest On May 26, Calgarian Andrew Brash abandoned his second
quest for the summit to help Australian climber Lincoln Hall, who had
been left for dead by his team. Even though he was only 200 metres from
the peak of Everest, Brash worked with other climbers to get Hall down
the mountain. View Article [CBC.ca] CBC News Online | 200 metres
from Everest summit, Canadian halts climb to rescue man A Calgary woman says she's very proud of her husband for being part of a team that saved an Australian climber who was left for dead on Mount Everest. "I know he feels he made the right decision," Jennifer Brash said of her husband Andrew. "He was very close to the summit, but more importantly, he did the right thing for this climber," she told CBC News on Saturday. Brash was only 200 metres from the summit when he decided to abandon his climb and help the Australian, his wife said. View Article [CBC.ca]
