Anyone watching this on BBC 4? Missed the first half.
It's the story of climbing the Eiger. It is quite incredible, especially the guys who did it in the 1930's. The men who lost their lifes. Can't quite fathom how or why! It's an amazing place.
Check it on the iPlayer if it's on.
There was a clip of the first British attempt in the 1960's and an old bbc interview. Sadly, the guys who tried failed and one the climbers died.
