  • Eiger North Face, a first try. After the "difficult crack" we decided that we were too late to safely pass the icefields before the sun would reach the summit and cause rockfall. But we're sure: One day we'll come back!

    First couple of minutes watching the snow part I was thinking: oh that doesn't look too bad, quite easy really. When you switched to the rock I was like: holy sh^t!!! That is freaking suicidal!!

    Good effort guys. I saw the ENF a couple of years ago from the pass beyond Gespaltenhorn. Woooo - so steep even from 20kms away - but so beautiful with Monk and Virgin in line. A few parapenters zooming around was amaaaaazing too.

    Can't help thinking about "The Eiger Sanction". Yeah I know, pure Hollywood. I still love the movie and this makes me realize how watered down it really was. The Eiger is mountain madness. At least the Eiger hasn't become the tourist death-trap Everest is.

    I'm sure glad there are people who find this worth doing so I can watch it in awe, but there is no way I'd ever go up that. 😃 I'd rather hunt pythons in the swamps with an ice pick.

      Ueli did the Heckmair Route in 2 hours 22 minutes and 50 seconds.
      I truly incredible feat of bravery and skill ….. almost inhuman. RIP Ueli. @@ironlakcdn7349

    My cousin has been up it and said the actual technical climbing is not all that difficult, maybe 5.6 - 5.7, but the severe exposure, rockfalls and changing conditions are absolutely brutal. We have done a lot of rock sport-climbing in the Shawangunks. Maybe you guys would know the iconic little route there called High Exposure. It's an easy climb, 5.6, and my cousin used it as a comparison to the Eiger, in an email: "Walk up and tie off a rappel rope above High Exposure. Then solo High E 20x in a row, quickly, in the deep winter, with a quick rappel down in between, in hiking boots and attaching crampons every other time. That's approximately the difficulty you'd face on the Eiger except that of course you're way, way, way more committed."

    This subject always held my interest, but not outside About 30 years ago i went to the library and got the book 'Climbing The North Face Of The Eiger In Winter" I had never been much of a reader, but this is one book i had a hard time putting down. Except for going to bed, i just kept on reading, and almost felt like "I was there". Really scary but definitely interesting.
