A guide who's been stuck on Mt Aspiring with leg injuries for four days has made his way off the mountain.
The guide was believed to have suffered a lacerated and sprained leg on Monday morning. He had been holed up in a hut on the mountain since, waiting for
help.
Wanaka search and rescue chairman, Bill Day, said the guide managed to recover enough to walk out.
"Over the three days his knee got significantly better and he elected to walk out to the normal helicopter pick up point on the Boner Glacier," Day said.
WanakaSAR was in constant radio contact with the man, Day said, but they weren't able to get to him due to weather.
