Alpine divorce .. Have you heard of it; I hadn’t
>The hashtag ‘alpine divorce’ has exploded on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram in recent months, with many women sharing traumatic, sometimes life-threatening experiences.
>The term is used to describe an event during a hike or other outdoor adventure, when one partner, usually male, abandons the other, who is typically less experienced and more vulnerable, in a remote and potentially dangerous setting.
>Conversation has in part been driven by a high-profile case in Austria earlier this year, which saw a climber convicted of manslaughter and handed a suspended sentence after he left his girlfriend alone on Grossglockner mountain, the country’s tallest, as he claimed he went to seek help. She froze to death.

Let’s invent a problem that does not exist
It’s terrible and I’m going to upset people so you’ve been warned.
If you’re up a big fucking mountain with someone and you’re not able to get down without them, do not piss they person off because if they just say „fuck it I’m off“ then you are basically fucked.
Also to anyone going up mountains and such, if someone pisses you off, wait until you’re back down to be shitty with them and walk away, people can die up there and it’s a fucking horrible thing to do.
I’ll get questions, yes I’ve been up mountains, no I never left anyone, yes I’ve got trapped on a cliff before, no it’s not fun at all.
that’s what happens when they see the other guy get a slap on the wrist, stupid judge.
Snow therapy but way worse
This shouldn’t be a hot take, but If you are on a trip where returning alone on your own puts you in significant danger, then you had absolutely zero business going in the first place (!!)
Not that your partner cant be a murderous, neglectful asshole, but following blindly when clearly beyond your limits is not just dangerous for yourself, it also risks the people that will haul your (dead) ass back down after things go sideways.
Ever heard of IKEA divorce?
If you will be far from help anywhere, consider buying or renting a Personal Locator Beacon. Push the button, it sends your location over radio to satellites that carry repeaters that transmit your distress signal to the appropriate service for your location.
Some shops at trail heads rent them.
I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but the term is being almost exclusively used by women who just walk slowly…
On the surface many of these cases can be boiled down to stupidity as there seems to be a bunch of factors contributing to a failed adventure. Lack of skill, lack of preparedness, lack of planning and poor decision making.
If they purposely brought them up their to do it then yea, throw the book at them. No one forced these people at gunpoint to do something they were incapable of doing safely though.
I think there’s a relatively recent movie about this except the guy also dies (suicide), don’t wanna say the name or it spoils the whole thing.
>! Magic mountains 2020 !<
BREAKUP LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!!
Women finding out their emotional abuse has consequences, there is no epidemic of women dying due the alpine divorces. It’s just these people on social media finding out their partner has a limit to what they will put up with and abandoned for.
What the hell
Must be why when my husband and I finished the West Coast Trail on our honeymoon (famously difficult trail in Canada, 52kms of ladders); someone commented that we were still together at the end.
Every day we stray further from God…. /s
This isn’t always deliberate, men tend to over think their own ability so you can be pressure or talked into a hike neither of you are prepared for.
This happened to my mom with my dad, he was adamant he knew his way back to the car via a short cut, she believed him because he seemed so certain (he was actually lost but wouldn’t admit it to hisself) they were lost until night fall and at one point she hurt her knee trying to cross a stream when they both started to panic.
You have to approach every scenario like this being fully aware men are over confident to a fault, way more often than women, and sometimes that confidence is a good thing, like at work or whatever but not out in the woods.
The movie „Backcountry“ plays with this setup. I won’t give away the ending.
Europeans are weird
Agatha Christie would like to have a word 😃
Lots of cliff accidents where the wife dies.
