A RESCUE PARTY, including a doctor, sets out in heavy snow yesterday from a hut 6000ft up Mount Ruapehu to assist other rescuers who are camped in a snow cave at 8500ft with Mr and Mrs B. Dudley, the Auckland climbers who were missing for six days. Ten men are now camped with the Dudleys, and are said to be in no immediate danger, despite the bad weather. A helicopter rescue was impossible yesterday, but another attempt will be made today if the weather clears. There are no plans to walk the Dudleys out.
