The alarm bells rang around 7 pm, after the pair got lost as darkness fell.
They had one cookie, a bottle of water, and a dying phone between them.
Eight Search and Rescue members set out and found them shortly after the call for help.
The incident comes just a week after Mountain Safety Council released a report on the increasing number of young, international trampers sparking rescue operations.
