## Resource

On a freezing January night in 2025, Thomas Plamberger descended Austria's highest mountain alone, leaving his girlfriend Kerstin Gurtner — exhausted, hypothermic, and just fifty meters from the summit — behind in the dark. By morning, she was dead, and a question the alpine world had never had to answer in court was suddenly on trial.
