Here is what the Eiger looks like in July, just barely out of winter conditions. I would not set foot there again. I have not even described the size of the avalanche and how close it came to us. Or on the next day where we were coming down from the summit and a rock fell from far above and clipped the fabric on the right shoulder of my parka, but did not touch me. It sounded like a bee it was going so fast and it went into snow below and skipped out and kept going.

I’ve seen the Eiger from fairly nearby at a train station once
All the documentaries I’ve seen the climbers all stress the failing rocks are a steady threat in summer
