Fay Jane Manners from the United Kingdom and Michelle Theresa Dvorak from the United States were ascending a rocky section of the Chaukhamba-3 peak in India's Uttarakhand state when they got stranded there, said Sandeep Tiwari, a senior administrative officer of Uttarakhand's Chamoli district. The climbers were rescued on Sunday, he said.
"We were pulling up my bag and she had her bag on her. And the rockfall came, cut the rope with the other bag, and it just went down the entire mountain," Manners told local reporters on Sunday.
