Climbers found alive

The Chilean climbers missing on Mt Aspiring since Sunday 9 November have been located this morning by the Wanaka SAR squad.

They are both well and have been taken by helicopter to Aspiring Hut. From there they will return to Wanaka later in the morning.

They have spent the last four nights snow caving for protection from the weather.
