Rescuers hold grave concerns for an Australian climber stranded on Mount Aspiring on New Zealand’s South Island.


Rescue Coorindation Centre NZ said the 29-year-old climber had become stuck on Mount Aspiring in bad weather.


Maritime NA has confirmed the operation, saying two members of a cliff rescue team were en route to the climber.


“Police have advised the climber’s family that they have grave concerns for him as he had left most of his equipment at French Ridge Hut so he could move quickly to climb and return to the hut,” the agency said on Facebook.


A rescue helicopter failed to reach the climber on Tuesday.
