Stranded Climbers Rescued After 80-Hour Ordeal in Himalayas

Michelle Dvorak and Fay Manners survived three days at 20,000 feet with limited gear after a rockfall left them stranded.

The climbers lost essential equipment when a rockfall sent their gear into a ravine, leaving them without a tent or stove.
They survived harsh conditions by sharing a sleeping bag and using body heat to stay warm.
Despite sending an SOS signal, poor visibility delayed their rescue by the Indian Air Force and local teams.
A French climbing team played a crucial role in helping them descend to a safer altitude for air evacuation.
Both climbers expressed gratitude for the rescue and are considering attempting the climb again in the future.
