This is the famous Eiger mountain that we see from our deck. It’s 13,000 feet high. It’s considered one of the most dangerous mountains in Europe for climbers. It’s famous for its 5,900 foot north face of rock and ice (right of the snowy area). In German it’s called the Nordwand which means North Wall but more often it’s referred to as Mordwand which means Murder Wall. Many climbers have tried to reach the top, most turned back, 64 have died trying and 5 have made it. With those odds I have no idea why anyone would attempt it?
