The north face of the Eiger had a reputation so bad it got a nickname.
Mordwand. The Murder Wall. 

By 1936, it had already killed several climbers, and nobody had ever made it to the top. Four young climbers - two German, two Austrian - decided they were going to be the ones to crack the Eiger’s north face. They were talented. They were experienced. 

And one decision in particular would make this one of the most witnessed - and most heartbreaking - disasters in mountaineering history.


This is the story of the 1936 Eiger disaster.
