Hold on, lest you judge me too harshly. I spent quite a long bit of time mourning that woman's sad story, so don't think I take it lightly. Still, so many questions come to mind:
Was she on a cliff edge but not watching where she placed her feet? How else could she have fallen?
Did she get a sudden cramp and move sharply and lose her concentration?
If the trail was that treacherous, who was watching her kids?
Alpine hikers, like mountain climbers, seem to thrive on the danger lurking just a distraction away. You can feel sorry for them when they die, but still think -- to yourself of course -- that they should have been more careful. I personally think an important part of being a "Mom" is doing your best to stay alive and well long enough to fulfill the duties of the job.
