Three climbers believed dead on New Zealand's highest peak

ai generated text

Three individuals, two American citizens (Kurt Blair and Carlos Romero) and a Canadian national, went missing while attempting to climb Aoraki/Mount Cook. The Americans were certified alpine guides. The search efforts have been hindered by adverse weather conditions, prompting the suspension of helicopter and drone operations. The missing individuals' bodies have not been found, and the search is being wound down.

    1. Anyone who shared time with Kurt in the mountains knows that his calm demeanour and positive presence ran counter to the rough edges and sharp tongues so often exemplified by the hard scrabble ranks of mountain guides.
