2 stranded climbers rescued from peak

? Two Korean climbers were rescued from a mountain after being stranded near its summit for more than a day without food or shelter, officials said.

Whang Cheung Sik and Hong Sung Hyun, both 35, were flown by helicopter Saturday evening to the base camp at the bottom of Mount Hunter, the third-highest peak in Denali National Park, officials said. They were reported in relatively good condition.

There were no other climbers on the mountain, which is much less popular than neighboring Mount McKinley, park spokeswoman Maureen McLaughlin said.

About 25 to 50 people climb the 14,400-foot Mount Hunter each year, she said. Last year, a record 1,340 climbers attempted the 20,320-foot McKinley, North America’s highest peak.
