-30 with 100 mph wind and people on here are saying she "wasn't prepared? Heck, NOBODY'S prepared for those conditions! The human body isn't designed for that and the best gear isn't designed for it either.
NO one with any real experience would do such a foolish thing. In fact the most experienced would be the first to avoid such folly.

So that leaves me with a couple likely scenarios:
She had the mother of all brain farts and never thought to check the weather or...
She indeed decided this would be her last trip and was suicidal, which doesn't explain her activating a rescue beacon.

I can't believe someone with her experience would intentionally go out in those conditions if she knew those were the conditions she would likely face. I have to think she was caught unawares by a surprise storm.
