Nope. It was hubris combined with defective grey matter.

Why would it had even occurred to her that this was a good idea?

Causes of death were stupidity and hypothermia.

Seems to me that without the "stupid" there would have been no way for hypothermia to set it.

I like to look at attractive bikini clad women as much as the next man, but not on a mountain wall. God, that was stupid.

Probably the sudden stop at the end (that is, she landed a lot faster than is considered safe)
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I've never been to Taiwan, but I never knew they had mountains that got that cold.
I thought it was a tropical island type of thing with a lot of people there.
Once again, I was wrong.

I didn't want to say it, but I'm glad you did... Yeah...it's tragic, but DAMN people are stupid. And as others say, "Stupid should hurt". And I guess it did in this case...

Taipei sits in a bowl, heavily polluted, surgical masks damn near mandatory.
