The north face of the Eiger had a reputation so bad it got a nickname.
Mordwand. The Murder Wall. 

By 1936, it had already killed several climbers, and nobody had ever made it to the top. Four young climbers - two German, two Austrian - decided they were going to be the ones to crack the Eiger’s north face. They were talented. They were experienced.

This is the story of the 1936 Eiger disaster.
