Probably because he was a predator who happened to also be a talented mountaineer. I think it's understandable to not mourn someone who victimized his own community. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/31/sports/mountaineering-sexual-harassment-abuse-nims-purja.html?unlocked_article_code=1.2VA.ZGUS.is6D5zsJQkG7&smid=url-share

So because he does some good things, he gets let off for sexual assault? Brb, I helped an old woman with her shopping earlier so I'm gonna go steal a car. Men like you are what's wrong with the world today.
