‘Finest Teams’
(From Our Own Reporter? ARTHUR’S PASS, June 23. Mr P. Croft the search controller, said today that the two finest high-climb-ing teams in New Zealand were engaged in the rescue operation.
“Mr Hearfleld’s team has been training with the base rescue equipment for two years. It has been used previously in a rescue on
Mount La Perouse,” he said. “The climbers will decide whether the Otira face can be climbed safely under existing conditions from the bottom. “Both teams in the field have decided that the ice and snow-bound face cannot now be climbed safely. We cannot have rescuers killed. This will do the stranded climbers no good at all,” Mr Croft said.
