Just to make a small correction: if it's the story I think you're referring to, it was a Canadian climber who abandoned the summit attempt to rescue an Australian.

Story here.

Looks like it was an international effort. Story here.

From the article: "The team consisted of Daniel Mazur Team Leader (US), Andrew Brash (Canada), Myles Osborne (UK) and Jangbu Sherpa (Nepal)."

Kudos to them all. It's nice to see that there are still some decent folks attempting to summit.
