A biography of one of the world’s most challenging mountains and its infamous North Face. The Eiger is home to Europe’s largest glacier, the world’s highest-altitude railway and the world’s most famous rock face; the North Wall, known as the Death Wall. Here, countless climbers have fallen to their icy graves, defeated by the vertical mile of shattered limestone rock and polished ice fields.
Following the journey up the North Face by a top British climber and drawing on rich archive footage and stunning cinematography, we capture the very essence of the Eiger, its unique personality and the spectacular terrain that draws people toward it and inspires them to risk their lives in an attempt to conquer it.
