In this episode of the SERMAPod, Rich Lenkov speaks with outdoor recreation attorney Jim Moss about a tragic climbing incident on Austria’s Grossglockner that led to criminal charges against a climber whose partner died of exposure. They discuss the legal implications of high-risk outdoor activities, the differences between U.S. and European negligence standards, and how duty, assumption of risk, and rescue obligations may apply when things go wrong in extreme environments.
