Lost Climber Survives A Week On Snow

A Japanese climber lost for more than a week was found yesterday.

Masayuki Nakamura headed into the Azuma mountain range about 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo on December 30, saying he planned to be back on January 2.

But he became disoriented in the snow and wandered the area for more than a week, reports said. He had no mobile phone and his food supply ran out after a few days.

It gives me Hope that Dean Christy, who has been missing for a week, will be found alive. Rescuers have not given up the search.
