College student, 20, falls 200ft to her death in front of her dad
Daily MailA college student who slipped and fell to her death while hiking in Yosemite with her father said, 'dad, my shoes are slippery' seconds before she plummeted. Grace Rohloff, 20, plunged 200 feet down the treacherous Half Dome after she lost her footing while descending cables on the cliff. She and her dad Jonathan Rohloff are both experienced hikers but had slowed their descent to accommodate less experienced climbers and ended up getting stuck in a rain storm. 'She was the star on every team she ever played on, but the 12th girl on the basketball team — Grace made that girl feel just as important,' Rohloff said. Tragically, Grace's story is not an isolated incident and since 2006 at least six people including the student have died after rainstorms made Half Dome's surface slippery.
