  • I agree to be honest. And it would be interesting to see what an appeal would drum up. I disagree with the “de facto tour leader” concept, but I think in any mountaineering situation everyone has a responsibility to everyone else in their party. And having experience as a mountaineer is enough to make him liable for his negligent decision making. (Tbh, him not having experience would probably make him more liable…)

    I think it is important to set a precedent, and I think it is a reasonable sentence.

    I think that the media attention is far more severe than what this climber deserves. However, I think that they also deserve some form of probationary period w.r.t. this type of activity. (Although I recognise that’s almost impossible in a legal framework).
