Did the extraction happen today with the snow at low altitudes?

Looking at flightaware, the last chopper out at federation peak was Polair 72 on the morning of the 26th

The photos you see that look as sketchy as are of people going up. Which would be the easy part. Reversing back down, without the ability to see hand or footholds easily…

Having other people around to help spot you and guide foot placements is, IMHO anyway, extremely important. Particularly on the way back down over a couple of spots where it is very hard to see where you're going.

Another challenge a solo hiker in the area would face.

Polair 72 is heading back from the area now so hoping the operation maybe completed

Thanks Overlandman.
