  • Two climbers missing on Mt Cook

Searchers looking for two missing Japanese climbers on Aoraki Mt Cook have located a tent near the summit. 

High winds and cloud mean it is not possible to rescue them at this stage but one person has come out of the tent and waved.
 
Bad weather is forecast for the next day or so but rescuers are hoping it will improve enough to drop off emergency supplies.

The two climbers were due out of the national park on Saturday after a climb to the summit.
  
A helicopter search earlier was forced back by deteriorating weather.
