KUNDASANG: Efforts to bring down bodies of climbers from Mount Kinabalu have been hampered as some are crushed and pinned under the tonnes of rocks and boulders after Friday's earthquake.

Rescuers, who returned from the scene late Saturday, said their helicopters faced difficulty in flying low on the mountain top and had to keep below 10,000 feet.
