Eiger. The N. wall of the Eiger was finally ascended this past summer by an Austrian party composed of H. Harrer and F. Kas- parek, and a German party composed of L. Vörg and A. Heck- maier, the two parties combining their forces and making the climb together. The ascent took three days and was finished under extremely bad conditions with sleet, hail and fresh snow making the climbing more difficult and menacing the climbers. Perhaps, now that it has been demonstrated that this face can be climbed without the climbers meeting an untimely end, we shall have an end to attempts and accidents on this face.
