Rescue operations have been suspended on Mount Cook after two Americans and one Canadian likely fell to their deaths on Mount Cook in New Zealand.
Three climbers that recently went missing on New Zealand’s Mt. Cook are presumed dead after authorities suspended their search. Search crews added drones to the operation, which provided footage of footsteps and miscellaneous gear scattered on the mountain, but no signs of the climbers.
“However, we remain poised to reactivate our search if we receive fresh information or credible reports of sightings, especially from the climbing community,”The American climbers, Blair and Romero, were quite experienced alpinists and professional guides with IFMGA/AMGA credentials. Mount Cook, however, poses serious risks including rockfall, avalanche exposure, and steep icy conditions – a mountaineering challenge for even the most skilled.
