Influencer Maria Eftimova Dies at 28 While Mountain Climbing

An adventurous expedition in the U.K. has led to a terrible tragedy.

Travel influencer Maria Eftimova died Feb. 22 after falling roughly 65 feet while climbing the north ridge of the Tryfan mountain in Snowdonia, Wales, according to the BBC. She was 28.

Nearby climbers rappelled down to Eftimova while a member of the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation performed CPR, the rescue team told the outlet. Sadly, the efforts proved unsuccessful, and she subsequently died from her injuries.

Following her passing, the late content creator was remembered lovingly by those closest to her.

“Maria was a one of a kind person who lived life to the fullest,” Eftimova’s best friend Megan Griffiths told the BBC, “not only adventurous and free-spirited but also incredibly kind, intelligent, and selfless.”

Griffiths continued, “Her tragic loss will be felt by so many, and we are absolutely devastated to lose such a precious friend.”
