    Climbing during a storm? What a dumbass. Would have died from something else eventually, like forgetting to breathe.

      That seems pretty harsh. Also they weren’t rock climbing, it’s a 14 mile hike where only the last 400 ft involves scaling rock using two metal cables to hold onto, and the storm didn’t roll in until they were making their descent. She was 20 years old. Very few people die doing this.
