Re: [Gendergap] Blogger and Wikipedian Adrianne Wadewitz died whilerock-climbing

How truly sad. While I did not work with her on any gendergap-related issues, I remember her well as a tenacious reviewer of DYK submissions, mine included. We didn't always agree, but I never doubted her integrity and commitment to the ideals of Wikipedia and Wikimedia. I would note for this list her high output of featured articles, many of them on works of women like Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, from her chosen period of literary study, the late 18th and early 19th century, as well as biographies of some major and minor figures of that epoch (including the now-infamous [[Fanny Imlay]] article, one of the few nominated for deletion (albeit strategically) on the same day it was on the main page. Nobody *but* her could have defended that article on the talk page as well as she did (compare with yours truly, a few grafs down)). Oh, and a nice collaboration with another editor on [[Joseph Priestley House]]. Are there any further details on the circumstances of her death, like where and what she was doing or attempting to do at the time? I ask only because they will inevitably be reported in this year's "Accidents in North American Mountaineering" along with the usual critique, and it would be useful to know before reading it since names are not usually given and I would like to know so I know when I'm reading about the death of an acquaintance.
