Two Hikers rescued attempting the trip up New River. I guess this will remain an unwalked route for a while yet.

Different guys than last time.
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

Yes - The New River seems to be twice as difficult as the Overland Track (only one person helli-rescued on that).
