Mountain Guide Attacks Climber on the Großglockner
A mountain guide—presumably from Salzburg—behaved wildly on the Mürztaler Steig trail on the way to the Adlersruhe (Archduke Johann Hut) on the Großglockner. He tried to pass a Polish mountaineering couple with a guest. When the Polish man criticized this, the mountain guide nearly lost his temper.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The unbelievable incident took place last weekend and is documented in an Instagram video that’s going viral. At an altitude of about 3,000 meters, a Polish man and his female companion were on a narrow, exposed descent when the Salzburg mountain guide came down from above and tried to pass them. The Polish man politely asked the Austrian to wait—also out of consideration for his female companion right below him. The response: “I’m a mountain guide, shut your mouth!” Then the mountain guide added: “I’m coming up to punch you!” In response, the Polish man also escalated the verbal exchange.
Suddenly, the mountain guide—who had already passed by, including the Polish man’s companion—turned around, came back up to the man, and practically got in his face—on a narrow ridge at an altitude of 3,000 meters! He demanded that the Polish man behave himself—which he did, for the most part. The woman tried to mediate the argument. The mountain guide finally moved on. “It’s really unbelievable,” the Polish man called after him as he left.
“Behavior was disastrous and absolutely unacceptable”
There will now be consequences for the Salzburg mountain guide. The Kals Mountain and Ski Guides Association had arranged the assignment for him, but the man from Salzburg is not a member of the association. “The behavior was disastrous and absolutely unacceptable,” emphasizes association president Michael Amraser. “We will no longer arrange any assignments for this mountain guide.” They also reached out to the Polish man via social media and asked for an apology. So far, he has not responded.
