Thread: Tramper missing in Tararuas

winds were up to 140kms when Darren Myers left Arete bivvy to keep going on the Northern Crossing.
Just spend 4days up there, wasn't on the tops though. The search teams up there had a fairly hard time, snow was quite deep, and still blowing. it still is. Most got pulled out on Tuesday, rivers were too high to search tops were impossible to search in heavy rain/gales.
The teams back up there now wont be very warm.
Couldn't think of much worse place to come unstuck. for the missing person or search teams, or the controller figuring out where he is
