Eiger
An incredibly aesthetic route on one of the world’s most storied peaks
The Mittellegi Ridge on the Eiger is a true alpine climbing classic. Though not as famous as its more challenging neighbor, the North Face, the Mittellegi Ridge is a wonderful route on excellent rock. It ascends a tremendously exposed ridge to the summit of one of the most famous mountains in the Alps. This two-day climb makes use of a conveniently located hut perched in an amazingly dramatic position, high along the ridge. Use of this hut allows us to climb relatively unencumbered. The Mittellegi Hut is one of the finest huts found anywhere. Immaculately constructed and well maintained, a night spent here is a real delight.
