After arriving in Kleine Scheidegg we got a short glimpse of the Eiger. This peak had been in my dreams for the last few days as one of the most imposing and well known walls in the entire area. One of the greatest mountaineering movies from Hollywood is often said to be The Eiger Sanction. The Eiger Nordwand wall was the last of the great faces to be climbed in the area and it killed the first 9 people to try it. Since then over 50 have died climbing its crumbly and inconsistent face.
