Eiger is one of the most famous summits in the Alps. This almost 4,000 meter peak is best known for its North Face, called Nordwand in German. It offers many routes to the summit, the most popular of these passes via the Mittellegi ridge which is the historic route characterized by vertiginous passages throughout the ascent. The most infamous and the most challenging is the North Wall route with its speed record of 2 hours 22 minutes 50 seconds established by Ueli Steck in 2015.

I have always been impressed by all the climbers reaching the top of this imposing mountain. The idea of climbing the latter solo began to formulate in my head. However to realise this dream I needed to gain more experience on solo ascents. After several solo summits and in particular that of the Wetterhorn, I finally felt ready.
I'm not a big rock climber so my choice naturally fell towards the western flank route which is rarely frequented. I would like to share here with you my challenge and the unforgettable adventure.

Please watch the video and experience the amazing journey with me.
