Two injured climbers look set to spend another day on Aoraki/Mount Cook as poor weather continues to hampers rescue attempts.
The pair made it to a remote alpine hut and called the Department of Conservation on Tuesday afternoon.
However, bad weather conditions have prevented search and rescuers from attempting to reach them.
Police said the poor conditions continued on Friday with an attempt at a rescue too risky.
But the Aoraki Mount Cook Alpine Rescue Team remained in communication with the climbers and continued to assess the conditions, they said.
