Three trampers are rescued from Mount Taranaki after becoming stranded in difficult conditions. Multiple reports say a helicopter operation is used to bring the group off the mountain. Two of the trampers are taken out with serious injuries, according to the accounts. The third tramper is also recovered, but reports differ slightly on the point at which that person is found and extracted. One report says the group of three is rescued, with two suffering serious injuries. Another notes that icy conditions contribute to the situation, stating that one tramper is stuck because of the ice before the helicopter rescue is completed. All sources describe an emergency response that successfully removes the trampers from Mt Taranaki despite the hazards on the mountain. The reports do not provide additional details on the cause of the injuries or the exact circumstances of how the trampers ended up requiring helicopter assistance.
