Earlier this evening the helicopter managed to land a party of six rescuers at the base of the Rudolph Glacier but had to return to base due to lack of light and increasing winds.
It is understood that the rescuers then found that they had a 90m climb to where the party was believed to be.
Another four rescuers have been established at another camp further down the valley.
