North Shore Rescue was called in on Nov. 28 to rescue a man from Norway who “seriously underestimated the difficulty” of a route marked in an online hiking app.

Rescuers were back on a nearby mountain three nights later for a “virtually identical” operation.

Both men were lucky to have been able to make 911 calls as service is patchy in the area and their phone batteries had nearly run out.
