Charles Barrett, a prominent climber, received a life sentence for aggravated sexual abuse and abusive sexual contact. Three other women reported being sexually assaulted by him.
Barrett's defense lawyers considered the life sentence excessive and planned to file an appeal despite his history of sexual violence.
The case highlights concerns about sexual harassment in the mountaineering community, especially as more women share stories of abuse.
