Uno scalatore austriaco dichiarato colpevole dopo che la sua fidanzata è morta congelata in montagna

I’m not a mountaineer,  does ” go get help” mean continue to the summit, and down the other side?

From my understanding the legal core of this case was always whether he can be considered a “de factor mountain guide” just on account of having more experience. This of course is a complicated question within mountaineering settings between “well duh you are responsible for your fellow mountaineers” and “wait, so you are always legally on the hook now if you go hiking with your buds”?

Personally: the story with the previous girlfriend makes him sound like a piece of shit person with a mean temper. And that is a just really unacceptable in such high stakes/dangerous environments.
