More than a year after a 33-year-old woman froze to death on Austria’s highest mountain, her boyfriend goes on trial on Thursday accused of gross negligent manslaughter.

Kerstin G died of hypothermia on a mountain climbing trip to the Grossglockner that went horribly wrong. Her boyfriend is accused of leaving her unprotected and exhausted close to the summit in stormy conditions in the early hours of 19 January 2025, while he went to get help.

The trial has sparked interest and debate, not just in Austria but in mountain climbing communities far beyond its borders.

    You’re upset that I criticized how wealthy people waste their wealth on vain endeavors while children live in poverty.

      No, I said that you should speak to a therapist. You seemed like you are jealous of others and insecure about the impact that you have on the world. Compared to most people on this planet you are almost certainly a wealthy person , or else you wouldn’t have the luxury to be wasting your time making these comments in this place.

      Your comments are literally a vain endeavour.

        You’re the one who needs a therapist. Look at how upset you’re getting and how much nonsense you need to make up because someone else criticized how wealthy people waste their money.
