The Eiger is a 3,970-metre (13,020ft) mountain of the Bernese Alps, overlooking Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen in the Bernese Oberland, just north of the main watershed and border with Valais. It is the easternmost peak of a ridge crest that extends across the Mönch to the Jungfrau at 4,158m (13,642ft), constituting one of the most emblematic sights of the Swiss Alps. While the northern side of the mountain rises more than 3,000 m (10,000ft) above the two valleys of Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen, the southern side faces the large glaciers of the Jungfrau-Aletsch area, the most glaciated region in the Alps. The most notable feature of the Eiger is its 1,800-metre-high (5,900ft) north face of rock and ice, named Eigerwand or Nordwand, which is the biggest north face in the Alps. This huge face towers the resort of Kleine Scheidegg at its base, on the homonymous pass connecting the two valleys.
The first ascent of the Eiger was made by Swiss guides Christian Almer and Peter Bohren and Irishman Charles Barrington, who climbed the west flank on August 11, 1858. The north face, considered amongst the most challenging and dangerous ascents, was first climbed in 1938 by an Austrian-German expedition. The Eiger has been highly-publicized for the many tragedies involving climbing expeditions. Since 1935, at least sixty-four climbers have died attempting the north face, earning it the German nickname Mordwand, literally "murder(ous) wall"—a pun on its correct title of Nordwand (North Wall).
The north face of the Grand Teton is a technical rock climbing in Wyoming. Today the route is usually climbed by a variation that avoids the chimneys which are often wet or icy. The route is recognized in the historic climbing text Fifty Classic Climbs of North America and considered a classic around the world.
The first ascent of the highest peak of the mountain (Pointe Walker) was by Horace Walker with guides Melchior Anderegg, Johann Jaun and Julien Grange on 30 June 1868. The second-highest peak on the mountain (Pointe Whymper, 4,184 m; 13,727ft) was first climbed by Edward Whymper, Christian Almer, Michel Croz and Franz Biner on June 24, 1865, using what has become the normal route of ascent and the one followed by Walker's party in 1868.
The summits on the mountain (from east to west) are:
Pointe Walker (4,208 m; 13,806ft) – named after Horace Walker, who made the first ascent of the mountain
Pointe Whymper (4,184 m; 13,727ft) – named after Edward Whymper, who made the first ascent of this, the second-highest summit
Pointe Croz (4,110 m; 13,484ft) – named after Michel Croz, a guide from Chamonix
Pointe Elena (4,045 m; 13,271ft) – named after Princess Elena of Savoy
BBC explores a history of one of the world's most challenging mountains, the Eiger, and its infamous North Face. The film gets to the heart of one of Europe's most notorious peaks, exploring its character and its impact on the people who climb it and live in its awesome shadow.
---Sam Wollaston Review---
Mountains don't get much better than the Eiger with its legendary north face, a near vertical mile of rock and ice, haunted by savage winds and the ghosts of dead climbers. "Every ledge of the Eiger is covered in the sediment of history," says the mountaineer Stephen Venables, who is unusually forthcoming for a climber and has a lovely way with words. He was good on the the BBC's live rock climb in the Outer Hebrides last weekend (five hours of nail-biting drama).

Ueli Steck New Speed Record Eiger 2015
Ueli Steck, the “Swiss Machine,” has yet again broken the record for a solo speed ascent of the North Face of the Eiger. On November 16, 2015, Steck took advantage of good weather and climbing conditions and pushed for the summit of the classic Heckmair Route (ED2, 1800m, 1938) in a mere 2 hours 22 minutes.

---Sam Wollaston Review---
Mountains don't get much better than the Eiger with its legendary north face, a near vertical mile of rock and ice, haunted by savage winds and the ghosts of dead climbers. "Every ledge of the Eiger is covered in the sediment of history," says the mountaineer Stephen Venables, who is unusually forthcoming for a climber and has a lovely way with words. He was good on the the BBC's live rock climb in the Outer Hebrides last weekend (five hours of nail-biting drama).
More than 60 people have died attempting the Eiger's north face. Most agonising was the death of the German Toni Kurz in 1936. Kurz had already seen his three companions perish around him: he'd had to cut them free to try to get himself down alive. When he was within a few feet of a rescue party, all he had to do was detach himself from the rope and he would have fallen to them and been saved. But after a night dangling alone on the rock, he was too exhausted and frostbitten to summon up the energy. "I can't go on," he gasped, and died.
His would-be rescuers had emerged on to the wall from a door called the Stollenloch, which connects to the railway inside the mountain. That door is an extraordinary thing: it turns the north face of the Eiger into an advent calendar – albeit a one-hit one. To the climbers who have used the Stollenloch as an escape route, it must have felt like Christmas Day. There can be few doors – the one on the wardrobe on the way to Narnia perhaps, and possibly the Pearly Gates – that are so different on either side. On one side is one of the most extreme and terrifying places on earth, once described by the aristocratic British editor of the Alpine Journal as "an obsession for the mentally deranged" and "the most imbecile variant since mountaineering first began"; and on the other side are trainloads of tourists, on their way to see the view.
Today, mountain guides Kenton Cool and Neil Brodie are going the other way, from inside to out, just to have a look. "Bugger me, this is awesome," says one of them. See what I mean about not all climbers having Stephen Venables's way with words? The only pity about this absorbing chronicle of one of the world's great climbing challenges is that the conditions aren't right for Cool and Brodie. It would have been nice to go up with them, battling through the spindrift and the sediment of history, past the Stollenloch, the Hinterstoisser Traverse, the Flatiron, Death Bivouac, the Traverse of the Gods, the White Spider, and on to the summit. But then perhaps, in these days, when a Swiss wunderkind called Ueli Steck can scale the north face on his own in two hours and 47 minutes, it's quite reassuring that the mountain can still sometimes win.

Nad kondycją do takich wyczynów pracowałem od dłuższego czasu. Opłaciło się bez dwóch zdań!

Specyfika techniczna terenu pozwala jednak na stosowanie mnogich wariantów mniej lub bardziej niebezpiecznego dojścia z punktu A do B.
Region Jungfrau jest niesamowicie malowniczym miejscem, a samo przebywanie w dolinie napawa zachwytem. Gdyby tylko Szwajcaria nie była taka droga i tak daleka..

The report from the wonderful alpine expedition to the top of the legendary Eiger!
I drove alone 1200 km from Poland to Aspen near Grindelwald in one go. Upon arrival I put up my tent and did a little recon of the beautiful area. I went to sleep at 6:00 pm, as I wanted to set out early at full strength.
At 03:30 am I left the tent (1111 m) and went through Brandegg, Alpiglen and Eiger Trail. At 06:50 am, after climbing a short ferrata, I reached Rotstock (2663 m) - the peak on the west ridge. At 11:47 am I reached the summit of Eiger (3970 m). After less than an hour of rest I started the descent, and at 05:00 pm I got back to Rotstock col (the pass under Rotstock). Then I descended to Eigergletscher station, and used Eiger Trail to go back to Aspen. I entered my tent at 8:40 pm - the victory beer was already waiting for me :)
I've been working on my physical condition for a long time. It paid off, no question about it!
I went by the West Flank both ways. It’s the easiest way to the summit, usually used for descending. Climbing is not a big deal there, although it depends on the options you’re choosing. The real challenge is the nature of the rock - a free-flowing limestone, which crumbles by itself, which may result in: falling rocks, plummeting or a piece of rock in your hand just when you grabbed it. Also, the route is tricky on some parts, and I managed to get lost few times. However, the characteristics of the area allow to use different options when going from A to B, in more or less dangerous way.
Jungfrau is an incredibly picturesque region, staying in the valley is a tremendous experience. If only Switzerland wasn't so far away and so expensive...

Both experts in their disciplines, Victor De Le Rue and Sam Anthamatten are still looking for fun and new adventures. Team athletes and free riders, they are changing the way we move in the mountains. The goal is no longer to reach a summit and then come back down, now they jump over crevasses, ride down steep slopes, climb ice walls to ride them better and use their paraglider to fly over obstacles.

Parenthood is an adventure like no other, not least in the world of adventure, where reward is constantly measured against potential risk. From fear of losing sponsors to the challenge of maintaining their expedition-led lifestyles, “New Life” chronicles the journey of The North Face’s Caroline Ciavaldini and James Pearson and documents the shifting priorities that come with raising a son in a world that revolves around climbing and outdoor exploration.

BBC explores a history of one of the world's most challenging mountains, the Eiger, and its infamous North Face. The film gets to the heart of one of Europe's most notorious peaks, exploring its character and its impact on the people who climb it and live in its awesome shadow.
---Sam Wollaston Review---
Mountains don't get much better than the Eiger with its legendary north face, a near vertical mile of rock and ice, haunted by savage winds and the ghosts of dead climbers. "Every ledge of the Eiger is covered in the sediment of history," says the mountaineer Stephen Venables, who is unusually forthcoming for a climber and has a lovely way with words. He was good on the the BBC's live rock climb in the Outer Hebrides last weekend (five hours of nail-biting drama).
More than 60 people have died attempting the Eiger's north face. Most agonising was the death of the German Toni Kurz in 1936. Kurz had already seen his three companions perish around him: he'd had to cut them free to try to get himself down alive. When he was within a few feet of a rescue party, all he had to do was detach himself from the rope and he would have fallen to them and been saved. But after a night dangling alone on the rock, he was too exhausted and frostbitten to summon up the energy. "I can't go on," he gasped, and died.
His would-be rescuers had emerged on to the wall from a door called the Stollenloch, which connects to the railway inside the mountain. That door is an extraordinary thing: it turns the north face of the Eiger into an advent calendar – albeit a one-hit one. To the climbers who have used the Stollenloch as an escape route, it must have felt like Christmas Day. There can be few doors – the one on the wardrobe on the way to Narnia perhaps, and possibly the Pearly Gates – that are so different on either side. On one side is one of the most extreme and terrifying places on earth, once described by the aristocratic British editor of the Alpine Journal as "an obsession for the mentally deranged" and "the most imbecile variant since mountaineering first began"; and on the other side are trainloads of tourists, on their way to see the view.
Today, mountain guides Kenton Cool and Neil Brodie are going the other way, from inside to out, just to have a look. "Bugger me, this is awesome," says one of them. See what I mean about not all climbers having Stephen Venables's way with words? The only pity about this absorbing chronicle of one of the world's great climbing challenges is that the conditions aren't right for Cool and Brodie. It would have been nice to go up with them, battling through the spindrift and the sediment of history, past the Stollenloch, the Hinterstoisser Traverse, the Flatiron, Death Bivouac, the Traverse of the Gods, the White Spider, and on to the summit. But then perhaps, in these days, when a Swiss wunderkind called Ueli Steck can scale the north face on his own in two hours and 47 minutes, it's quite reassuring that the mountain can still sometimes win.
#Eiger #ClimbingTheEiger
Ueli Steck, the “Swiss Machine,” has yet again broken the record for a solo speed ascent of the North Face of the Eiger. On November 16, 2015, Steck took advantage of good weather and climbing conditions and pushed for the summit of the classic Heckmair Route (ED2, 1800m, 1938) in a mere 2 hours 22 minutes.

Relacja ze wspaniałej alpejskiej wyprawy na górę legendę - Eiger!
By dotrzeć do Aspen koło Grindelwaldu przejechałem sam 1200 km z Polski jednym ciągiem. Po przyjeździe rozbiłem namiot i zrobiłem mały rekonesans po pięknej okolicy. Położyłem się spać już o 18 by w pełni sił wyruszyć w nocy na przygodę.
O godzinie 03:30 wyszedłem z namiotu (1111m), po czym przez Brandegg, Alpiglen, szlak Eiger Trail oraz krótką ferratę o 6:50 osiągnąłem wierzchołek w zachodniej grani - Rotstock (2663m). Na Eigerze (3970m) stanąłem o 11:47. Po niespełna godzinie odpoczynku rozpocząłem zejście, by o 17:00 znaleźć się z powrotem na Rotstock Col (przełęcz pod wierzchołkiem o tej samej nazwie). Następnie zszedłem do stacji Eigergletscher, skąd szlakiem Eiger Trail z powrotem do Aspen i namiotu, który rozsunąłem o 20:40, a zwycięskie piwo już na mnie czekało :)
Nad kondycją do takich wyczynów pracowałem od dłuższego czasu. Opłaciło się bez dwóch zdań!
Moją drogą wejściową/ zejściową była Zachodnia Flanka, czyli najłatwiejszy wariant prowadzący na szczyt, który służy przeważnie do schodzenia. Trudności wspinaczkowe nie są zbyt duże, choć to też zależy jakie warianty się obiera. Prawdziwym wyzwaniem jest natomiast charakter skały. Sypki wapień osuwa się samoistnie powodując lawiny, zjeżdżanie ze stopni i zostawanie chwytów w rękach. Droga w wielu miejscach nie jest ewidentna i zdarzało mi się ją gubić. Specyfika techniczna terenu pozwala jednak na stosowanie mnogich wariantów mniej lub bardziej niebezpiecznego dojścia z punktu A do B.
Region Jungfrau jest niesamowicie malowniczym miejscem, a samo przebywanie w dolinie napawa zachwytem. Gdyby tylko Szwajcaria nie była taka droga i tak daleka..

The report from the wonderful alpine expedition to the top of the legendary Eiger!
I drove alone 1200 km from Poland to Aspen near Grindelwald in one go. Upon arrival I put up my tent and did a little recon of the beautiful area. I went to sleep at 6:00 pm, as I wanted to set out early at full strength.
At 03:30 am I left the tent (1111 m) and went through Brandegg, Alpiglen and Eiger Trail. At 06:50 am, after climbing a short ferrata, I reached Rotstock (2663 m) - the peak on the west ridge. At 11:47 am I reached the summit of Eiger (3970 m). After less than an hour of rest I started the descent, and at 05:00 pm I got back to Rotstock col (the pass under Rotstock). Then I descended to Eigergletscher station, and used Eiger Trail to go back to Aspen. I entered my tent at 8:40 pm - the victory beer was already waiting for me :)
I've been working on my physical condition for a long time. It paid off, no question about it!
I went by the West Flank both ways. It’s the easiest way to the summit, usually used for descending. Climbing is not a big deal there, although it depends on the options you’re choosing. The real challenge is the nature of the rock - a free-flowing limestone, which crumbles by itself, which may result in: falling rocks, plummeting or a piece of rock in your hand just when you grabbed it. Also, the route is tricky on some parts, and I managed to get lost few times. However, the characteristics of the area allow to use different options when going from A to B, in more or less dangerous way.
Jungfrau is an incredibly picturesque region, staying in the valley is a tremendous experience. If only Switzerland wasn't so far away and so expensive...
The Eiger is a 3,970-metre (13,020ft) mountain of the Bernese Alps, overlooking Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen in the Bernese Oberland, just north of the main watershed and border with Valais. It is the easternmost peak of a ridge crest that extends across the Mönch to the Jungfrau at 4,158m (13,642ft), constituting one of the most emblematic sights of the Swiss Alps. While the northern side of the mountain rises more than 3,000 m (10,000ft) above the two valleys of Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen, the southern side faces the large glaciers of the Jungfrau-Aletsch area, the most glaciated region in the Alps. The most notable feature of the Eiger is its 1,800-metre-high (5,900ft) north face of rock and ice, named Eigerwand or Nordwand, which is the biggest north face in the Alps. This huge face towers the resort of Kleine Scheidegg at its base, on the homonymous pass connecting the two valleys.
The first ascent of the Eiger was made by Swiss guides Christian Almer and Peter Bohren and Irishman Charles Barrington, who climbed the west flank on August 11, 1858. The north face, considered amongst the most challenging and dangerous ascents, was first climbed in 1938 by an Austrian-German expedition. The Eiger has been highly-publicized for the many tragedies involving climbing expeditions. Since 1935, at least sixty-four climbers have died attempting the north face, earning it the German nickname Mordwand, literally "murder(ous) wall"—a pun on its correct title of Nordwand (North Wall).

Both experts in their disciplines, Victor De Le Rue and Sam Anthamatten are still looking for fun and new adventures. Team athletes and free riders, they are changing the way we move in the mountains. The goal is no longer to reach a summit and then come back down, now they jump over crevasses, ride down steep slopes, climb ice walls to ride them better and use their paraglider to fly over obstacles.
