The climbers were reported missing after they failed to return from their expedition on time. The NPS immediately launched a search and rescue operation to locate the climbers. The operation involved extensive ground search and aerial surveillance. The climbers were finally located in the Wilson Glacier area, a challenging terrain at high altitude.

The NPS has not released any information about the condition of the climbers after their recovery. The incident serves as a reminder of the inherent risks associated with mountain climbing, particularly in areas of high altitude and harsh weather conditions. The NPS continues to encourage climbers to take necessary precautions and be prepared for unexpected situations when planning their expeditions.
