Thanks for the fossil piece - daughter can use it for her weekly science current event.
Glad to be helpful. Can't help you climb the Eiger, though.
I got no closer to climbing it than going to the village of Kleine Scheidegg, which is where the climbing lodge in the Eiger Sanction is located.
I gave up climbing over twenty years ago - back problem, you know. A great big yellow streak running down the middle of it.
