When at the tower, about 65 feet from the car to the ground. But between towers where they originally stopped, the distance to the ground is much greater (hundreds of feet), and I believe they spent most of the night away from the tower swaying in 40 mph winds.
Below is a video link to the helicopter portion of the rescue:

I’ve ridden that tram. I can imagine how harry it would be.
And the elevation above sea level is certainly relevant to how cold and windy it can get.

I will also say this: Running a mile and a half in Santa Fe in January is definitely not the same as running a mile and a half in Dallas in January.
