A helicopter scoured the area last night without success, however this morning three Land Search and Rescue teams were sent in along with an Alpine Cliff Rescue team. The spokesman said the missing man was believed to be "reasonably well-equipped and reasonably experienced" with hiking in mountains. The rescue teams have adequate supplies on them if the missing man is found.
