The trial surrounding the death of a mountaineer from freezing to death on the Großglockner begins on Thursday. Your friend, as a de facto guide, is charged with gross negligence manslaughter; he was not a mountain guide and had no formal training. However, the public prosecutor’s office sees him as a guide out of favor and is held liable as such. This has caused unrest in the mountaineering community, says alpine lawyer Robert Wallner on Wednesday evening ZiB 2 with Armin Wolf.
