The Eiger round trip
Being faster in the world of mountaineering is normally not about breaking speed records. But if conditions work against you, you need to be fast in order to reach your goals
1)
The day before. Checking out the situation at the foot of the North Face of the Eiger.
2)
Setting out from the Mittelegi hut along the phenomenal ridge leading to the summit. Really only suitable in summer, so it's a serious challenge at this time of year.
3)
This is where you really need to focus. Free fall all the way to the bottom on both sides of the ridge.
4)
Climbing the upper section of the ridge is really wicked; not for the faint hearted.
5)
Conditions you can only dream of: perfect snow, ideal weather and a view as far as the eye can see. A perfect day.
6)
The reward for a really exhausting day. The summit of the Eiger - We did it!
