"Overnight temperatures plummeted to 30 degrees below zero and the winds were gusting at more than 100 mph."
Yeah okay, great time to be climbing a mountain.
She was trying to be 'badass' and died in the process.
100 mile per [bleep]' hour wind and -30F?!
On a cliff?
Not a very smart idea. I'd ride the damn couch if that was remotely close to being a possibility.
I didn't bother hunting flatland mule deer on the last day of deer season because it was -15F with a decent breeze in the morning. Pussy chit compared to what this woman was attempting.
Walk in would have been fine. Turning back into the breeze for 2-3 miles sucks when it's getting dark.
Could not image 'purposely' mountain climbing in conditions like that.
Just not into freezing my face off that much. One thing to be close to help, another deal when you could be several miles away from anything.
