Was there a backstory?
Outraged Mountain Guide: “The Video Paints Me in a Bad Light”
The video is “unflattering,” he said. Furthermore, two “ego-driven” people had clashed. That was the brief statement from the mountain guide who lost his temper on the Großglockner and attacked a climber. In any case, his statements don’t exactly come across as reasonable...

But who cares about the backstory—how this scene came about?”
