A British climber is lost on a 23,000ft mountain due to lost equipment in a ravine.
The news of two climbers, a British woman and her American counterpart, has left many worried about their safety. They were attempting to scale Chaukhamba Mountain in India, when their supplies and food accidentally fell into a ravine. Fay Manners, 37, and Michelle Dvorak, 31, have not been seen since Thursday, and efforts to locate them have been ongoing.

The two climbers had sent distress messages to base camp, indicating that they were in trouble. Two helicopters were immediately dispatched to rescue them. Unfortunately, due to unfavorable weather conditions, the rescue mission had to be called off. In a collaborative effort, India's army and air force have joined in the search for the missing women. The head of the rescue operation expressed hopes of evacuating them at the earliest.

Despite repeated attempts, there has been no communication from Fay and Michelle since Thursday. Fay, who is a passionate climber, had been accompanied by the experienced American, Michelle. The two had obtained permission from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation before embarking on their journey. The Foreign Office has released a statement saying they are providing support to the family of the missing British woman.

This is not the first time such an incident has occurred. In September, four climbers who had gone missing during a storm on Mont Blanc in France were found dead near the summit. The search and rescue team from Chamonix-Mont Blanc discovered the bodies of two Italians and two South Koreans on Tuesday afternoon. It was later confirmed that they had succumbed to hypothermia due to the extreme temperatures of -22°C at the peak.

The fate of Fay and Michelle remains unknown, but the efforts to locate them continue with the support of various rescue teams. Let us hope for a positive outcome and that they are brought back to safety soon.
