Tragically, Harry Berger was killed a few days before Christmas when 150 tonnes of ice collapsed on him whilst climbing in a cave near Hintersee in his home country of Austria. Harry was the undisputed Ice Climbing World Champion. He leaves behind girlfriend Kirsten and baby Zoe, who was born the day after Hari died. Hari?s friends and fellow mountain guides have set up bank accounts to raise funds for Kirsten and Zoe.
