You could see on her face how worries she was. Apparently her man left the Hotel in the morning to climb up to the Müller Hut. This could be a lovely track if the weather conditions are fine, but unfortunately the weather conditions changed..<br />It was too dark to send the Helicopter to look for him (the Glacier is so wide and big that from the Helicopter you could see him..). Instead some of the Rescue Guides climbed up in the night..was a long night, and with a sad end..his body was found, death on the glacier. Conditions can be very hard even if Mt Cook Village was so prepared for the rescue.<br />Sir Edmund Hillary spent his whole life for the Mountains! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Hillary<br />God always forgive Human. Human forgive sometimes..Nature never forgive for both good and bad things.<br />Kind regards,<br /><br />Davidinfohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01157327335396653442noreply@blogger.com
