Eiger North Face

The north face of the Eiger is one of the classic routes in mountaineering. Huge, sheer, shadowy and daunting , it dominates one end of the line of peaks that includes Mönch and Jungfrau in the Bernese Oberland.

Portraying it in black and white comes close to the reality of the dark rock and pale snow and ice that barely ever glimpse sunlight. The variations in shade are both subtle and dramatic, whilst evoking the drama and danger of the face.
