After the North Island climbers noticed their friend had slid “down the mountain out of view” when they were near the summit, one of them went down to help the man who had fallen.
He was quickly followed by a member of Taranaki Alpine Rescue. But it was a LONG way down — almost exactly 2,000 feet — and the climbing party was terrified about what might have happened.
