""He then “hit an angled surface after an 8m drop, then continued down a labyrinth into the depths of the glacier""

Why? Because it was there. /s

Impressive climbing history. I have never met anyone personally that has wanted to do a repeat of the Eiger.
My climbing has always been in the Rockies. Never the time or budget for the big mountains or Europe.
I will be in Ouray area Jan- Feb., and back out in April- May for spring alpine.
Shoot me a PM if in the area. Like to buy you a beer.
