Trapped climbers rescued

1 min read

The two young men trapped in the mountains walked off the rescuing helicopter a few minutes ago. Sgt Peter Summerfield says there was a window, they sent the helicopter up and were successful.

"I?€?ve just seen them both walk off and they?€?ll now be assessed by paramedics," he says. "We thought we heard they were off on the radio but it was not clear and until they arrived we didn?€?t know for sure."

Sgt Summerfield will be talking to the men when they have been seen by paramedics.
