A Christchurch woman found dead on Sunday morning is being remembered as a "beautiful" person who "touched the souls of many".

The woman on Wednesday was named by police as Rosalie Anderson-Hill, whose death is being treated as unexplained.

Anderson-Hill's body was found at Cattlestop Crag on Christchurch's Summit Rd on Monday.

People have taken to social media to pay tribute to the 21-year-old woman, writing in a Facebook group created after her death called 'Rosalie's love-filled memories'.

"Her beauty has touched the souls of many [and] never will we forget your radiant contagious joy sending love out to everyone that helped shape her into such a beautiful women [sic]," one wrote.

"Still cant believe this has happend [sic]," said another. "Till we meet again."

Another added that Anderson-Hill "filled our days with joy".

"I loved u [sic] as the sister I never had and I will always love you."

Detective Senior Sergeant Damon Wells said officers want to speak to anyone who might have been near the Cattlestop Crag rock climbing area on Sunday.

"She was of slim build, approximately 160cm tall with dreadlocked blonde hair. She was wearing a dressing gown with a hood, white and blue paisley-patterned long pants and black and white shoes."

Wells said Anderson-Hill was possibly carrying a Globe-brand longboard - described as being 1 metre long with a dip in the middle.

"We are yet to locate her longboard. If anyone has found this item, we would like to hear from them." 

Anyone who was near the Cattlestop Crag climbing rock area on Sunday, or saw the woman walking through the Mt Pleasant, Lyttleton, or Summit Rd area overnight on Sunday, is asked to call police on 105.
