The copter landed at an altitude of about 10,000 feet around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday and took on board eight mountaineers, four guides and about 1,000 pounds of their gear, officials told the newspaper. Two of those rescued were treated for altitude sickness while a third suffered a minor case of frostbite, the report said.More Related News
