The climbers were supposed to return to the Diamond Head trailhead on May 31, where they had left their vehicle.A break in a weather Wednesday meant several helicopters were able to fly over the region until late in the evening, though they weren't able to get high enough into the mountains to conduct a ground search due to ongoing dangerous conditions.
