From Rescuers find Omaha climbers

Quote:
Rescuers found three missing Omaha climbers on Mt. Whitney around 2 p.m. CDT today, said Brandy O'Connor, a friend of one of the men.

All three men are alive and talking. Rescue workers are evaluating the situation and planning for their evacuation, said David Clymens, a brother to another of the climbers.


...so it appears that rescuers have reached them at the hut.


Edit... another article:

Climbers airlifted off mountain
Quote:
Shortly after they were found, a Chinook helicopter was dispatched. It arrived at the summit within minutes and airlifted the three men.
