Rockfall severed rope, sending climber’s equipment into a gorge
American and British climbers have been rescued after being stranded for three days on a mountain in India’s Himalayan north.
The climbers were first reported stranded on Thursday when a rockfall severed their rope, sending their bags — along with crucial supplies like food, tent and climbing gear — into a gorge. The climbers also lost most of their communication equipment, but managed to send out an emergency message the same day.
The rescue operation took 80 hours to complete and involved the Indian air force and the Uttarakhand State Disaster Management Authority.
