Opis:
On our first full day in Europe we decided to climb the West Flank of the Eiger. It's no Mordwand or Nordwand but it's still a challenging route with steep loose rock and black ice. It's also a great way to beat jet lag. I attempted to climb the Eiger last year after climbing Mont Blanc but got turned around by new snow. There was some new snow on the summit this year as well but we came prepared. At just over 13,000 ft the Eiger is a great intro hike in the Alps and hopefully our luck with the weather will continue as as we continue to check off mountains in the Swiss Alps.
