At least 5 known sexual assault claims (3 not pursued because not on federal land), at least 9 restraining orders, and hundreds of threatening calls to his victims (while in police custody). Seems like he was the Weinstein of rock climbing, as a lot of other climbers essentially covered for him. Not gonna lie, was originally gonna say a life sentence was a bit much, but...
He climbs mountains, but he also rapes.
- Is this a Norm MacDonald reference?
  
  Haha I could see that being like a good Norm joke, but it's actually a reference to Dave Chappelle's bit about a rapist Superman - "He saves, but he rapes"
This is part of why women pick the bear.
