TLDR Didn't Read/Didn't Watch Facts
1. Angela Tramonte was a 31 year old living in Boston who was fit. In the cute or hot range.
2. On Instagram, she begins a romantic interaction with a Phoenix police officer. Guy is good looking. Muscles and tats.
3. Angela flies to Phoenix to meet with him. She has never been to Phoenix, let alone Phoenix during summer.
4. Their first date is hiking on Camelback Mountain in Phoenix during the day when the forecast high is 105. Hike began mid-morning when temperature was likely 90-95 degrees. Water was not packed on the hike according to ABC 15 Arizona.
5. Camelback Mountain has 2 trails up. Echo Canyon and Cholla. Echo Canyon is considered the more difficult of the 2. They take Echo Canyon.
6. She dies from heat exhaustion.
Personal Opinions/Analysis
1. Why would a 31 year old cute/hot woman fly from Boston to Phoenix? There are plenty of men in Boston.
2. A good general rule of thumb for living in Phoenix is not to hike between April 15-October 15. The heat is too intense. Maybe experienced hikers can do it. In the summer, the sun rises around 5-5:30 AM in Arizona, so if you must hike in Phoenix in summer 5:30-6 AM when temperatures are around 75-80 is possible. But who wants to get up that early?
3. Both the Echo Canyon Trail and Cholla Trail of Camelback are strenuous hikes. It's impossible to do it without water even on a 73 degree day in November. Neither trail is good without water.
