Woman Famous for Climbing Mountains in Bikinis Found Dead and Frozen After 20 Meter Fall
2019-01-23
Well, she should have seen this coming. A Taiwanese woman known as the "Bikini Climber" because she often climbed mountains in bikinis was found frozen and dead after a 20-meter-fall, according to reports.

Gigi Wu, 36, was renowned in the east for climbing mountains in a bikini and posting sexy photos from mountain peaks. But, apparently, she made one excursion too many.

Eight days into a 25-day solo hike on Saturday Wu reportedly called a friend to say she’d fell down a ravine in Central Taiwan’s Yushan Mountain. She also said she was trapped at the bottom of the ravine with a broken leg and could not get out, Taiwan News reported (via the New York Post).

Due to weather conditions, rescuers could not reach Wu for over a day.

Authorities said that the tempers [sic] had fallen to freezing overnight.

By the time Wu was fund she had already died from exposure.

According to the Post:

Wu, who also went by Wu Chi-yun, was a local social-media star who posed on some of Taiwan’s highest peaks in barely-there outfits.

In one image, she stands in a rainbow bikini and blue hat, with treacherous boulders in the background.

On Christmas Eve, she shared an image showing her scratched-up legs after being injured in a fall that she said she was lucky to survive.
Yeah, there's pix.

#1  Actually she changed once she got to the top. She hiked in normal clothes. But she did it alone which meant when she got into trouble, nobody could help her.
