She liked to climb up on high places and then pose in her bikini. Unfortunately, she fell into a ravine. She survived the fall, but ended up freezing to death. RIP, Gigi.

Never heard of her but sad to hear. Sometimes the very thing you love will also be your demise. Life is strange. RIP Way too young.

Good of you to put this out here.
Poor thing. One of my greatest fears.

I'm glad her pain is gone, but I wish that pain never would have happened at all.

Yes, it's very sad. I was especially bummed that it may have been possible to save her if they could have gotten to her sooner. She survived the fall and ended up dying of hypothermia. But in the weather conditions, it was difficult to get to her.

Really sad.
And terribly ironic

Dying of hyperthermia in the mountains wearing a bikini.
Well at least she died doing what she loved: being famous.

Yeah, I've decided I'm not going to climb up on stuff that's up high. It's too easy to end up dead.

I've never heard of her& am wholly uninterested of conducting research at this obviously late stage of life's game into finding out,,,yet,,, the deep pangs of suffered loss ,shall remain my burden

That’s no lie, I’ve had some pretty scary experiences with altitude sickness and slips on “beginner 14’ers” in Colorado. I love the challenge but it can be a very humbling experience.

Adrenaline junkie. I use to do a lot of crazy stuff. The fix is great . I have jumped out of helicopters only having a rope,ran down Austrailan rappel mountains,scuba dived, wanted to go skydiving and still do.my ex-wife never wanted to do any crazy stuff and kept talking me out of it.... I get my fix through exercise now

My initial thoughts based on the reporting. By all accounts though she actually had all normal equipment you would expect and only stripped down to the bikini for a quick photo at the summit.

So it really isn't the fall that gets you.

It was becoming obvious to me concerning that thinner air/oxygen content level @ altitude/under expended exertion the last couple of years,,,lemme' tell ya


*the forwardly looking, progressively implementing employer, had a bull dyke lesbian slotted in that prestigious A.O.,,,er,,, till the S*** got knee deep in F*****' real ,,,,,EVERY WINTER
