Rescue Efforts Hampered for Stranded Climbers on Denali

Two climbers remain at high altitude with hypothermia as adverse weather conditions stall rescue attempts.

  • Two climbers remain stranded on Denali at 19,600 feet, suffering from hypothermia and exhaustion.
  • A third climber was rescued from 17,200 feet with severe frostbite and hypothermia and is in critical condition.
  • Rescue efforts are hindered by high winds and cloud cover, preventing helicopter and ground teams from reaching the climbers.
  • The climbers sent an SOS message early Tuesday morning but lost communication shortly after.
  • Denali's challenging environment and unpredictable weather make timely rescues difficult.
