One of the two hikers from Hong Kong stranded in Japan’s rugged Northern Alps died after severe weather hampered rescue efforts, according to reports.
The pair, aged 30 and 22, were scaling Mount Okuhotaka – Japan’s third-highest peak – when they became stranded on Sunday at around 4pm local time. The rescue teams were only able to reach the hikers two days later and save one. The younger of the two hikers died due to disruptive weather.
