Zhang, of Michigan, was climbing at "Misty," a popular climbing route at Cherokee Rock Village in Leesburg, which features 200-foot boulders.
Zhang was an active member of Athens' Active Climbing gym. Following her tragic death, the gym released a statement saying they were "deeply saddened."
"Our thoughts are with Faye's family, friends and the University of Georgia community at this difficult time. We join them in mourning this profound loss and honoring the vibrancy, passion and kindness that she brought into our lives."
"Faye, your spirit will forever be a part of our community. Rest in peace," the gym added.
A spokesperson for the university told FOX 5 Atlanta that their "sympathies go out to the student’s family," and they are providing student with counseling and support.
