Having the conviction could cause all sorts of negative outcomes, from loss of work to being disallowed access to various countries for climbing holidays (or any other reason). Pretty shitty for somebody who did nothing wrong.

Fuch, Andrew Bisharat is the most annoying, sanctimonious climbing writer ever.......apart from that chick who only writes about sexism in climbing. Anyway, it couldn't happen to me, because I don't climb on quickdraws put together by my mates mum. Most of the responsibility lies with the parents, for letting their kid do an obviously dangerous activity. If tito hadda traversa a bit more anda climba up a bit less, I thinka he still be alive.
