“I’ve hiked more than 100 peaks [in four years],” Wu told FTV News then. “And I probably have 97 bikinis, so I’ve accidentally repeated some a few times."Wu’s latest endeavor, however, ended in tragedy. The 36-year-old woman was in the middle of a solo hiking trip in Yushan National Park when she fell more than 65 feet into a ravine on Saturday, Apple Daily News reported.
Even after she fell, Wu was able to use a satellite phone to call friends and give her coordinates, Nantou County fire official Lin Cheng-yi told reporters. However, the situation was dire: Wu reportedly also told her friends that she couldn’t move the lower half of her body. Because of poor weather, rescuers had to try to reach Wu on foot. It wouldn’t be until noon Monday — about 43 hours after Wu’s distress call — that rescuers discovered her body, Lin said. By then, it was too late. A cause of death was not immediately confirmed.
