The Eiger has long been one of the world’s most notorious mountains. Its iconic North Face is steeped in history and has served as a proving ground for the world’s leading climbers for generations.
In 2018, Babsi Zangerl and Jacopo Larcher managed to claim the coveted second ascent of the wall’s most difficult route-Odyssee (8a+). Fighting with loose, wet rock and unstable weather conditions, they spent four days living on the wall in order to reach the summit.
This past August, they returned to the wall in an attempt to re-climb Odyssee in less than a day and write their names into the “Nordwand’s” history book forever.

I have to think of Heinrich Harrer's book "Die weisse Spinne". I can highly recommend it.

Mountaineers 100 years ago would have been totally awestruck to see anyone climbing in this style.

Th climbing, here, is beyond inspired.... And th photography is killer. I dunno, though. Jus speaking for myself, i think I'd have bagged it after that t storm with hail.... And not returned. U did th crux of th climb, obviously th little section at th top wouldda gone ok. And it's th Eiger.... There's a ton of vibe about this peak, much of it bad. I'd prefer u stay in one piece. Glad u did it AND created such an outstanding film!

Maybe it's the fact that I've seen awful accidents happen on more alpine style routes, but this just seems absolutely reckless. Hats off to Jacopo and Babsi, but this route seems like an absolute nightmare.

Lol... Yep. However, Messner and Habeler did th standard route and had yards of beta, I'm sure, even before setting foot on it.... Gotta hand it to em, they did in 10hrs what most folks were taking over 2 days to do.....

The fact that some of the draws were pre placed kinda takes a little bit away from the “alpine adventure” don’t cha think?

@allanchong4772 4 ай бұрын

it's a pinkpoint. :) if i become a sponsored athlete, will someone preplace my draws? . just kidding, 8a+ is something crazy like 5.13c. you're not going to be hand drilling your bolts on lead.

Not allowed to fall ? As long as you have a rope u can fall any time as much as u want u ain’t going anywhere lol

@brinckau 2 жыл бұрын

You can definitely go to the hospital or to the morgue. Using ropes doesn't make it totally safe, far from it. Toni Kurz used a rope too, and he died on the Eiger, hanging by his rope. His body stayed there, hanging over the void, for months. You can see the picture by searching for his name on Google Images.

First 50 sec or so had very unpleasant audio, the levels could have been lowered for these audio clips. Around 6:21 is where an example of this type of audio is used properly. I don't think ASMR style audio has a place in these films, however this is just my preference,
