Stranded Himalayan climbers rescued after two days

Oct. 6 (UPI) -- Teams have rescued two mountain climbers who were trapped 20,000 feet high in the Himalayas for two days after a rope that was being used to hoist their provisions snapped.

Fay Manners, originally from Bedfordshire, Britain, and her climbing partner, Michelle Dvorak from the United States, were stranded on Chaukhamba mountain in northern India when the rope snapped, meaning they lost all their food, tent and climbing equipment and left without supplies.
