A Canadian is among three climbers missing after they'd planned to climb New Zealand's highest peak.
A news release from the New Zealand Police says two Americans, Kurt Blair, 56, and Carlos Romero, 50, and the unnamed Canadian flew into Plateau Hut on Saturday morning and planned to summit Aoraki, also known as Mount Cook.
It says searchers located several climbing-related items which are believed to have belonged to the three men. The release says weather conditions will likely prevent further searching until Thursday, but that police will continue to monitor and assess the conditions. Blair, from Colorado and Romero, of California — are certified alpine guides, according to the website of the American Mountain Guides Association.
