I'm posting this as a PSA to warn others against hiking mountains clad in only a bikini, because something like this could happen! I'm sure we've all been tempted to do this but we need to be cautious because it can truly have dire consequences. Wink Roll Eyes



A Taiwanese woman who was known for climbing mountains in a bathing suit reportedly died after she fell during a hike.

GiGi Wu, the self-proclaimed bikini climber, was in Taiwan's Nantou County on Saturday, during a hike, when she tumbled into a valley near Mabolasi Mountain, Taiwan News reported.

It took rescuers more than a day to get to 36-year-old Wu because of bad weather, according to the news outlet. By the time search teams arrived, she was reportedly dead.

A fire department official told the Liberty Times that temperatures around the mountain where Wu was stuck were freezing and that they did all they could to rescue her.

Wu appeared to be an active Facebook user, often posting of her bikini travels.

It was the inappropriate choice of climbing shoes.

Well you know, shoes make the outfit.

I wish they would stop littering the mountains w/ bodies.
I feel bad for the people who's job it is to pick up the litter.
Or maybe have a goal, "If you bring up two bodies, take four down."

I went on FB and there may be 100 Wu GiGi. At the least.

On a side note. It seem's like every time out in public I see grown men and/or women in night time attire. Like PJ's or worse. I am talking several. Like they just got up. Did not comb their hair or brush their teeth. Just got up and went out.

A nice looking women in a bikini rock climbing is a way, way, way better sight. I am sorry she died.

I am pretty sure it was not the lack of clothing that killed her.


Because son, it is what you are supposed to do.
