A man has been rescued after spending the night in Arthur's Pass National Park.
The Rescue Coordination Centre was alerted at 7.10pm on Sunday after a safety locator beacon was activated near the summit of Mt Rolleston.
The beacon was activated by a 52-year-old experienced climber who was 'bluffed out' on the cliff face, a spokesperson for GHC said.

A spokesperson said phone contact was established with the man and he informed them he was well equipped to stay where he is, but could not move from the location.
