The Eiger

The Eiger is a prominent mountain in the Swiss Alps, standing about 3,970 meters (13,025 feet) tall. Famous for its challenging north face—known as the Eiger Nordwand—it has attracted climbers for over a century due to its steep, demanding cliffs and unpredictable weather. The mountain's dramatic vertical walls and rugged terrain make it a symbol of mountaineering skill and adventure. While capable climbers have successfully ascended it, the Eiger remains a formidable obstacle, emphasizing the awe-inspiring power and complexity of high-altitude mountain environments.
