OTTAWA — Officials in New Zealand says a Canadian is one of three mountain climbers who are believed to have died in a fall on Aoraki, the country’s tallest peak.
A state from Aoraki Area Commander Inspector Vicki Walker says a break in the weather Thursday allowed crews to search the mountain.
A helicopter crew found more climbing-related items on the mountain, including a top and energy gels.
Earlier in the week, crews reportedly found a jacket and an ice axe.
