A coroner investigating the case of tramper Stephanie Simpson has been unable to unravel the mystery of her 2020 death.

The 32-year-old had placed her tramping boots neatly next to each other on the side of a creek in the Pyke River Gorge, near Wānaka.

Several days later her body was found drowned 800m downstream.

Sad and RIP.

I'm guessing visibility was bad and she missed the hut on the way back from the glacier... the ridge splits into a couple of subtle spurs, the first one takes you down into the stream, it starts out ok, but it gets very steep and goes into a nasty steep canyon, you must back track...
