It sounds as if this ought to have happened on Mount Darwin (The African one or the South American one - take your pick) but reading around a bit, it seems she usually hiked and climbed with all the right gear and only did the bikini pose at the summits.
This was an unfortunate but common climbing accident, made worse by appalling weather conditions that left her waiting three days for a rescue. Very sad.

The weather can surprise you if not prepared for it. I rather suspect there might be more to this story than the facts you just quoted. Brian

How can you make jokes like that on a day when a Premier League footballer nobody has ever heard of has gone missing on a plane crash ?

The photo shows her well kitted out, except for the wellies! Hardly ideal climbing footwear.
Not noted for their grip in tricky conditions.

Apparently fell off, into cold water.
From what I can see, she hiked normally but just posed at the summit.
From what I can see, the accident could have happened to anyone and isn't attributable to her social media publishing - though she did hike solo which is always more precarious.

Can't say I'm surprised! Not much protection in a bikini.

I'm not a great fan of the MSM. I take everything they say with a pinch of salt to be honest as I and others have caught them out with blatant and shameless lying on important issues far too often. I'd have to be the world's biggest mug to place any faith in newspapers and TV.

"If you do not read the mainstream media you are ill-informed If you do read the mainstresm media you are mis-informed."
(After Mark Twain).
"In general you may believe what you read save in the one subject that you actually know soumething about"
(can't remember who said that).
The point is that the mainstream media are the worst places to get facts from.
They make their living out of advertising and PR. They are paid by large globalist companies, or by government franchise in the case of the BBC, to publish what is useful for those people to have you believe.
That you cite them as an authority, and seem to believe that argument from authority carries weight, is merely and indication of how dangerously naïve you really are.
People like you should not be allowed to vote.

Doesn't that depend on how you know whatever you know ?
No they aren't. There are far worse places just follow some of Harrys links.
And subscriptions but I'm not sure to what degree.
Some are, but it does depend on many things, and it unfortunatly requres the use of a brain (both right and left sides) while reading anything mainstream or non mainstream.

Today there was a tv on where I went to look at the heating. It was the BBC explaining how having right wing views directly resulted in hate crimes. Weird that any grown up would take such nonsense seriously - I guess some folk simply have no critical thinking ability.
I don't agree on voting rights though. Any system that excludes anyone ends up excluding the wrong people. And some people lose basic rights as they have no ability to say NO to those in power. These are precisely why we let everyone vote.
I won't mention prisoners for now.

If you use a range, across politics and location, you'll generally end up in the right ballpark.
What I don't understand is where you/yours get the information that in turn informs your opinion. It's clearly not books or science - inherent bias, you seem to insist. It seems to be a combination of hard code, anecdote and following a pack.
