Did you know... that in 1992, French mountaineer Catherine Destivelle became the first woman to complete a solo ascent of the Eiger's north face (pictured)?

Merger

It's clear that this should be merged, it's talking about just one face of a larger mountain

I have no idea if it's correct, but starting at "3:00 p.m.", reaching the summit at "noon", and descending "in about four hours" seems hard to reconcile. "3:00 a.m." perhaps? If the text is correct, then perhaps a little more explanation would help? GFHandel. 02:40, 13 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

North face climb list

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm a little confused that the list of north face climbs doesn't include any 2004-2006 yet the page mentions an IMAX film of John Harlin III climbing the north face in 2005. So the list wasn't intended to be complete? Dlamblin (talk) 15:01, 1 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

2012 Ascent

Cannot find any sources for "Ollie Hammond's" ascent, let alone his existence. Spelling is not top notch "A 18 year old". I will delete that section if no source is posted. Old source linked to Daniel Arnold's ascent, I have currently changed it to Citation Needed. 122.107.72.1 (talk) 13:05, 29 October 2012 (UTC) JQTNReply

Deleted. Don't hesitate to delete unsourced stuff. Ratagonia (talk) 20:46, 29 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
