Eiger – Nordwand: Mit Nagelschuhen und Hanfseil auf den Spuren der Erstbegeher [Eiger – North Wall: With Nail Shoes and Hemp in the Footsteps of its First Climber]

This large-format photo book documents the 2002 recreation of the first ascent of the Eiger’s North Face in 1938 by Harrer, Kasparek, Heckmair and Vörg. The team of two, with accompanying cameramen,worked with Heckmair to recreate the equipment used in the first ascent. This book contains photos from both expeditions with additional text by Daniel Anker, Anderl Heckmair, Christine Kopp, and Frank Senn. The film of this climb, which I enjoyed, won the Alpine Club of Canada Award for Best Film on Climbing at the 2003 Banff Mountain Film Festival. In German, no English translation.
