Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli climber Ran Krauss became the 11th Israeli to summit Mount Everest when he reached the top of the world’s tallest mountain last week at the end of a trek dedicated to Matan Lior, who was killed at the Supernova music festival on October 7.
Upon reaching the mountain peak, Krauss was photographed holding a flag with a picture of Lior emblazoned on it.
Speaking to Channel 12, Krauss says from the moment he set out on his 50-day trek, he knew he wanted to dedicate his summit, and his photo at the top, to Lior.
“I wanted to dedicate it to and honor his memory,” he says.
