There is accountability - the tree sitter was accountable for his own actions as a sitter, preumably he made a critical error while up there, and gravity held him accountable for it.
It's very unfortunate, yes. Presumably Dragonfly made an error in judgement in allowing this climber to go up, and will certainly raise the bar henceforth. However, I can not see expecting him or other SCEF leadership to shoulder the blame.
Naya screwed up. Naya paid for it. Shit happens. He knew the risk he was taking, or should have known.
Unless of course there was foul play. Which wouldn't surprise me, but until there's a shred of evidence.. no.
