Fatal mountain accidents in Austria
According to alpine experts, overconfidence, inadequate equipment and a lack of experience are the most common causes of mountain accidents in Austria. The death of an exceptional alpinist recently shook Austria. Before the eyes of his 31-year-old son, Robert Renzler, the long-standing ex-Secretary General of the Austrian Alpine Club, fell 60 meters in the Schmirntal valley. A mountain rescuer from Ramsau died on a tour on the Dachstein at Easter. Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger (75) mourned the 46-year-old. (ml)
