不认为这是玩命，每个人都有自己的生活方式，我一直相信生死有命，再安全的环境都会有意外

可惜。。。但至少她有志同道合的partner一起去追求梦想

我要祝福他们，他们在追求自己想要的东西。

唉。悲剧。不过也算做自己想做的事情。

如果是我就不会把这么危险的事情放在开始，甚至会把nz放在最后，至少先经历过最新奇的部分，也算值得了。

Melissa's fatal slip on glacier ends 'adventure-neering' dream Kirsty Johnston
March 24, 2011 - 3:19PM

Melissa Martin sold almost everything she owned to have the adventure of a lifetime.

She quit her job, rented her house and packed the remnants of her possessions into a single, 75-litre pack - making only a small feminine concession - heeled shoes.

Melissa Martin ... had been about to celebrate her 39th birthday when the fatal accident happened.

"This time, because we'll be away for three years, I'm going a little 'all out'," the 38-year-old IT specialist wrote on the couple's blog detailing the trip.

Melissa Martin ... had been about to celebrate her 39th birthday when the fatal accident happened.

"I'm taking a pair of jeans and a pair of heels!"

The trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, the blog said. Ms Martin, 38, from Sydney, and her partner Brad Skinner, would spend three years "adventure-neering" in New Zealand, Asia, Europe and South America.

Ms Martin could not wait to begin climbing - she loved the long, alpine traverse and living in the mountains for stretches at a time.

Melissa Martin and Brad Skinner pictured on her blog.

"You feel so great after you've been out walking for weeks; you really feel like Superman. It's awesome," she wrote.

However, she would not make it to Asia, or Europe or South America.

The adventure-loving, outdoorsy Australian was killed when she fell 40 metres down a treacherous ice face in Fiordland National Park.

Ms Martin and Mr Skinner were climbing in the Karako Glacier area, near Lake Adelaide, when the accident happened yesterday afternoon.

The peaks in Darren Mountains, where the glacier was, were about 1600 to 1700 metres above sea level, Sergeant Tod Hollebon from Te Anau police said.

Police were still trying to determine how high the couple were when they fell, but it is believed they were on a more technical part of the climb.

Mr Skinner, a computer systems engineer, was slightly below her. There was about 10 to 15 metres of rope between them, Sergeant Hollebon said.

Mr Skinner was believed to have been placing an anchor when Ms Martin suddenly slid down the 45-degree-angled ice slope.

Mr Skinner tried to control the slide, but there was too much momentum and the pair stopped only when they came to a hollowed out area, Sergeant Hollebon said.

"He was knocked unconscious and was some distance below her. When he came to he found her," said Lloyd Matheson, from Southern Lakes Helicopters.

Mr Skinner was able to alert emergency services with a locator beacon, but it emitted only an initial signal and the helicopter crew took almost an hour to find them, Mr Matheson said.

Ms Martin's death would have been instantaneous but her partner was unaware at first that she had been killed, Mr Matheson said.

"I had to console him - I was the one who had to tell him his wife was deceased."

Mr Skinner was hurt, but not badly. He was flown to Te Anau Medical Centre for treatment but has since been released.

The couple had been together for 15 years. The trip, their most extensive, was part of a biomedical research project. Mr Skinner had planned the fuel and detailed mapping and Ms Martin had planned the food.

They also had a blog of the trip - which they wouldn't update "unless we've done something that's worth talking about - a major climb or traverse or if something happens to us", Ms Martin wrote in an article on their travels for the University of Technology, Sydney.

The blog, and the couple's photo site, showed their progress through New Zealand, and footage of the Plunket Ice Dome.

"On the fourth night we were kept awake from 2am to 5am by a kea, which was relentless in its pursuit of destroying our equipment. The damn parrot was possessed!" they wrote.

Their last post was dated March 17. The couple had made it to Mount Talbot, and posted a video showing the Korako glacier - labelled "our next target".

说不定，我们哪一天也像他们这样勇敢地走出去。
Viola说得对，意外什么时候都存在。
只能替他们遗憾了，祝福同样有这样的勇气的人能一切顺利！

倒不是这个意思，我是觉得首先这段登山比较险，他们两个毕竟是坐办公室的，平时的锻炼和经验有没有达到这一级程度不好说，如果他们是专业做户外或者健身教练之类的当然还是大不一样，先去别处跑一年半年，至少体能的长进有很多；另一方面地球人都知道NZ跟我们这疙瘩区别不大，换了你不会急着先去看看不一样的风土人情吗？别说一土生土长的oz乐。

其实我很佩服她的。变卖家产环游世界，多少人想做而做不到。

看上去是有些经验的，两个人用10-15米的绳子结组，女的开始滑坠时，男的正在设置锚点，女的滑坠了，把男的也带下去了，是前一个保护点没有起作用？或者是一开始没有做保护点？45度的冰坡，肯定是要做保护的，要么就是速度太快，把冰锥拉出来了？但是像这样两个人的话，只打一个冰锥保护肯定是不够的，那就是还是经验不够。

每个生命从开始到结束都有它自己的轨迹。虽然英年早逝，令人痛惜，但也不失为一个完整的闪光的生命。祝福她一路走好。

我看比较大的可能性是这个女的爬的太急了，下方的保护点都没有设置好，她就往上爬了，那么这就等于是无保护攀登，是危险了点，还把那个男的也带下去了，幸好那个男的命大。所以说选登山伙伴比选老婆还重要，因为你要把生命交给对方。

最好不做这样评价性的猜测。

还好吧，我觉得我猜测的还是有根据的，评价的也算中肯。
