Agreed, the shot below the rock edge was great. I was hoping for a drone shot at the summit. If you love mountain drone shots, as far as I know I've shot more mountains with my drone than anyone on earth. I just uploaded my trip up James Peak / St. Mary's Glacier in Colorado if you are interested.

@@jessismallz Sure! It's mainly the nuisance for man and nature at the place itself. If the original sound was used the magic would be gone. For me it feels like an easy score.

Maybe I’m just old-and I admit majority of my mountaineering days are far behind me-but I would not have attempted that climb without roping up, and I certainly would not have continued onto those ice conditions without crampons. If the weather had deteriorated at all (and it does so on the Eiger unpredictably and often!) you could have been in very deep trouble up there with no way to retreat without ice gear. I’m glad you had a safe and successful climb, and the footage was awesome. Thanks for sharing, and please stay safe.

On many of these sections, roping up doesn't really help, though there are some anchors, e.g. steel rods (you can see one). Many Swiss guides will do short roping in these sections, but for normal teams I would also mostly go unroped. Also reduces the risk of causing rockfall. About the crampons, I think they mentioned they have them but decided not to use them. They certainly had ice axes. Regarding the crampons, I used to be the same - put them on as late as possible, but have since become wiser ;).

I was in Europe with my college football team in 2017 (we went to play a German team in Munich for an exhibition match) and we spent 9 days there, 2 of which were in Switzerland. One day we did a hike up to Murren, and the whole time i was looking across the valley at the Eiger and the Jungfrau dreaming of the day i could come back and hike those slopes. The entire valley felt like it shouldn't have existed on earth, it was so breathtakingly beautiful, and seeing your journey and the views along the way I'm even more convinced that I need to make it back, because that is the most stunning place on the planet.

Going down the SW-ridge to Mönch is still quite and undertaking, the eigerjocher never end. It does have quite a funny line where the rock changes suddenly from Eiger choss to golden granite, so the climbing is good. That is an actual climb rather than a scramble like that west face. Did that on the descent from Mittellegi integrale route years ago and descended the West flank this winter after summitting through the classic Heckmair North Face route. In winter the west flank basically becomes a snowslope.
