A record number of climbers from across the globe were issued permits in an attempt to take the dangerous trek to reach the summit of Mount Everest. NBC News’ Janis Mackey Frayer spoke with two climbers who were able to reach the peak.
Three mountain climbers from the United States and Canada are missing after they did not return from their planned summit of New Zealand’s tallest mountain, Aoraki, officials said Tuesday. The Americans are Kurt Blair, 56, of Colorado and Carlos Romero, 50, of California. The Canadian national is not being named by New Zealand Police until his family is notified. Blair and Romero are listed on the American Mountain Guides Association website as certified alpine guides.
The search for them began Monday after they failed to show up for their morning flight out, police said. Searchers have found several climbing-related items that are believed to belong to the trio. The search was temporarily halted on Tuesday owing to severe weather conditions on the mountain. Police said the search was unlikely to resume until Thursday. They said they were working with the U.S. and Canadian embassies to inform and support the families of the three men.
