Media Statement - Mountain Safety Council -
Routeburn Incident
The Mountain Safety
Council are working with the local authorities to get a
better understanding of the events, and will not be making
comment on the specifics of the incident. This is now a
Police matter, and it’s inappropriate for us to
comment.
Even the most experienced trampers have accidents. Unfortunately, a moment’s complacency can sometimes have fatal consequences.
We’d like to remind all trampers, particularly those intending to be out for significant time periods of time, that it’s important to make sure they have left an intentions form.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends at this time.
ENDS
