Would be good to get another pair of eyes on this to check it's a balanced write up.

Also notable that he drew the short straw on Parthian and broke the flake?

Maybe for third paragraph:

Will was a popular member of climbing community; however, towards the end of his life he struggled with alcoholism and mental health issues. He faced allegations of assault, harassment and sexual assault, but died before the allegations could be tested in court, leaving those involved without legal resolution.

Thanks. Added a section about the parthian fall and added

Will was a popular member of climbing community

however I've left the rest of that para as charges as I think this is a more accurate reflection of the circumstances. I think allegations is softer, suggests less evidence and potentially minimal involvement with the legal system, but in this case it has progressed past this to formal charges (though not all the way to a conviction).

I think that strikes a good balance
