Fay Manners and Michelle Dvorak were stranded on Chaukhamba mountain in northern India .

The rope lifting their food, tent and climbing equipment snapped, leaving them without supplies.

The pair sent an emergency message at more than 20,000 ft ( 6,096 m) The women took cover on a ledge as it started snowing, sharing the only sleeping bag they had.

The next morning a helicopter came to find the pair, but could not locate them - meaning they faced another 24 hours on the mountain.
