Climbers have fortunate escape at 20,000 feet
Two mountaineers, in the high Himalayas, had a very fortunate escape, after being stranded at more than twenty-thousand feet.
American Michelle Dvorak and Brit, Fay Manners, were nearing the peak of Chaukhamba mountain, in northern India, when the rope carrying their food, tent and equipment snapped in a storm.
Fay Manners, now safely down the mountain, told Newshour about the moment when they realised they were in trouble.
