No one replied- so I’m going to try again as I have no idea. How long would it take to walk from pic de s to the precipice above pic de glare? Was this possible the same day to see an amazing sunset?
ETA We know she had a couple of hours left of daylight and that she walked faster than average.
It seems like there was a very long route (about 3- 4 hours) or a very short one, which was was incredibly unrealistic and dicey, but someone who didn't know the area or was feeling dizzy or in other ways unwell might have attempted.
As the remains were found between Port de la Gléré and Pic de la Gléré, some people were saying her last photo, on Pic de la S was too far away from P de la G (whichever one) for her to have had a fall. My point was, though timing might have mattered in other senses, it didn't seem to matter When it happened, or IF, it's clear it did... thought the cause of that fall remains uncertain. And that the bad, short route could have been attempted and gone wrong.
I think it very probable that whatever her route, she was very tired and underfed perhaps, and either made a rash decision to attempt to get back home more quickly or - something else. It's worth mentioning that, although it's a three and a half hour walk between those spots it's only an 8 min drive, with a walk to and from the car at either side. That's why I ruled out murder quite early on. I couldn't see how the body could have got there without people noticing (sorry if that's disrespectful).
I feel increasing concern for the family, as to me it looks more and more like suicide, as an experienced climber wouldn't have taken the decision to go from Port de la Gléré to the Pic - I don't think. I suspect that might be why DC suspected foul play. His knowledge of her is important. She was astonishingly intelligent, but also brave. Perhaps she was too keen to test her limits, especially if I was in an effort, I don't know, like poor visibility, or? A bear? Who knows? An injury? And she couldn't move well and then fell?
