Three mountain climbers from the U.S. and Canada are missing after a planned ascent of New Zealand's highest peak, Aoraki. The search efforts have stalled for a third day due to adverse weather conditions.
New Zealand authorities have “grave concerns” for three mountain climbers from the U.S. and Canada who are missing after a planned ascent of the country’s highest peak, Aoraki , as efforts to find them stalled for a third day amid bad weather .
The Americans – Kurt Blair, 56, from Colorado and Carlos Romero, 50, of California – are certified alpine guides, according to the website of the non-profit American Mountain Guides Association. New Zealand authorities have not named the Canadian climber at the request of his family. The search for the men stalled on Tuesday and Wednesday due to deteriorating weather conditions on Aoraki, also known as Mount Cook, with heavy rain and snow forecast. Walker earlier hoped efforts would resume Thursday but said conditions on the day were unsafe.
