A British climber and her counterpart have reportedly been rescued safely after their food and equipment fell down a ravine.

Fay Manners, 37, and her American friend Michelle Dvorak, 31, were missing since Thursday after they got into difficulty climbing Chaukhamba Mountain in India.

They both sent messages to base camp saying they were in trouble, and two helicopters were sent up immediately.

The rescue mission in the Himalayas was quickly stopped due to weather conditions, but the search was able to resume and local media reported the operation was a success today after 80 hours.

Indian News Agency IANS said the Indian Air Force, the Army, and local administration had been involved in the search following a report from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation.

The head of the rescue operation said previously: ‘We hope to evacuate these two ladies as soon as possible.’

Fay and Michelle had not been heard from since sending their message to base camp Thursday.

The two are both experienced climbers and had permission from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation before they set off.

A Foreign Office spokesperson said it is ‘supporting the family of a British woman reported missing in India’.

In September, four climbers who disappeared in a storm on Mont Blanc in France were found dead close to the summit of the Alps’ highest peak.

The Chamonix-Mont Blanc search and rescue team found the four mountaineers – identified as two Italians and two South Koreans – on Tuesday afternoon.

Rescue officials confirmed they all died of hypothermia after temperatures at the peak reached -22°C.
