I’ve always had a dream to climb the legendary mountain Eiger in Switzerland. In september 2013 it I took a shortcut and hired a mountain guide for the first time in my life. I contacted the swedish mounatin guide Krister Jonsson and after a few e-mails forward and back we agreed to have a go 🙂 I can really recommend Krister to anyone! We had a lot of fun!
-
- The world famous panorama from Kleine Scheidegg with Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau
-
- Krister found the exit door at the Eismeer station
-
- From the Eismeer station at 3160m inside the Eiger an icy tunnel leads out to the glacier
-
- Climbing starts. Delicate and no good protection
-
- On the traverse to the Mittellegihütte 3355m. Note the climbers.

-
- The snow ridges start
-
- Soon there! The summit in the background
-
- Made it in 3 hours 🙂
-
- Panorama from the summit of Eiger 3970 meters
-
- Done! Time to get down safely!
-
- It’s quite a few rappels down the south ridge
-
- A known crux mentioned in the guidebooks
-
- It’s a long way down. Here’s the view over the South Face of Eiger
-
- Almost down…
-
- Back at the galcier. Now it’s just a short hike to the Mönchsjoch Hut
