I don't know the climbers, but I thought the photos were fantastic. Especially this one. You can see the highway and Grindelwald 8000 feet below. That's some serious exposure.

I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

Re: Eiger photos
It's amazing what better justice good pictures do to a route. Thanks for sharing.
Although, I wonder if they just paid that dude on Mountain Project to make them look epic...

Even the last few pictures of the easy part looked spooky.

Re: Eiger photos
I almost wonder if they are using a fisheye or some sort of distortion method to make things look even crazier. That stuff is insane to me. But really cool.

Re: Eiger photos
Yeah, there is, without a doubt a wide angle lens being used. The distortion is incredibly obvious.

Eiger north face will always be outside my comfort level, but I do highly recommend the standard route, it's oodles of fun.
