From here we followed the milky glacial meltwaters of the Lutschine River to Lauterbrunnen where we boarded the train for the last leg of our journey to Wengen, perched high on the alp above. It was a short walk to our hotel where we had time to settle in and admire the amazing scenery. It had been a very hot day with temperatures in the mid-30s and, as we enjoyed our evening meal on the terrace, we were treated to a superb alpenglow on the Jungfrau. Day 2 Monday 27th June The hot sunny weather of yesterday looked set to continue, so we took the cable-car up to Mannlichen. We were immediately in a different world, surrounded by a panorama of mountains, dominated by the imposing north faces of the Jungfrau and Eiger, and with a wealth of alpine flowers at our feet.

  • The Eiger Myth Compiled by Marco Bomio
    The Eiger Myth Compiled by Marco Bomio Compiled by Marco Bomio, 3818 Grindelwald 1 The Myth «If the wall can be done, then we will do it – or stay there!” This assertion by Edi Rainer and Willy Angerer proved tragically true for them both – they stayed there. The first attempt on the Eiger North Face in 1936 went down in history as the most infamous drama surrounding the North Face and those who tried to conquer it. Together with their German companions Andreas Hinterstoisser and Toni Kurz, the two Austrians perished in this wall notorious for its rockfalls and suddenly deteriorating weather. The gruesome image of Toni Kurz dangling in the rope went around the world. Two years later, Anderl Heckmair, Ludwig Vörg, Heinrich Harrer and Fritz Kasparek managed the first ascent of the 1800-metre-high face. 70 years later, local professional mountaineer Ueli Steck set a new record by climbing it in 2 hours and 47 minutes. 1.1 How the Eiger Myth was made In the public perception, its exposed north wall made the Eiger the embodiment of a perilous, difficult and unpredictable mountain. The persistence with which this image has been burnt into the collective memory is surprising yet explainable. The myth surrounding the Eiger North Face has its initial roots in the 1930s, a decade in which nine alpinists were killed in various attempts leading up to the successful first ascent in July 1938. From 1935 onwards, the climbing elite regarded the North Face as “the last problem in the Western Alps”. This fact alone drew the best climbers – mainly Germans, Austrians and Italians at the time – like a magnet to the Eiger.

    13 Protection: A Means for Sustainable Development? The Case of the Jungfrau- Aletsch-Bietschhorn World Heritage Site in Switzerland Astrid Wallner1, Stephan Rist2, Karina Liechti3, Urs Wiesmann4 Abstract The Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn World Heritage Site (WHS) comprises main- ly natural high-mountain landscapes. The High Alps and impressive natu- ral landscapes are not the only feature making the region so attractive; its uniqueness also lies in the adjoining landscapes shaped by centuries of tra- ditional agricultural use. Given the dramatic changes in the agricultural sec- tor, the risk faced by cultural landscapes in the World Heritage Region is pos- sibly greater than that faced by the natural landscape inside the perimeter of the WHS. Inclusion on the World Heritage List was therefore an opportunity to contribute not only to the preservation of the ‘natural’ WHS: the protected part of the natural landscape is understood as the centrepiece of a strategy | downloaded: 1.10.2021 to enhance sustainable development in the entire region, including cultural landscapes. Maintaining the right balance between preservation of the WHS and promotion of sustainable regional development constitutes a key chal- lenge for management of the WHS. Local actors were heavily involved in the planning process in which the goals and objectives of the WHS were defined. This participatory process allowed examination of ongoing prob- lems and current opportunities, even though present ecological standards were a ‘non-negotiable’ feature. Therefore the basic patterns of valuation of the landscape by the different actors could not be modified. Nevertheless, the process made it possible to jointly define the present situation and thus create a basis for legitimising future action.

  • Lower Grindelwald Glacier ‐ Holocene Climate Change and Environments Saturday 26 August 2017, 09.00 – 18.30 H
    ICDC 10 ExSat5: Lower Grindelwald Glacier ‐ Holocene climate change and environments Saturday 26 August 2017, 09.00 – 18.30 h. Guide: Dr. Samuel Nussbaumer, World Glacier Monitoring Service, University of Zurich Lower Grindelwald Glacier in 1858 (photo Martens/Zumbühl) and 2010 (photo Nussbaumer The excursion reviews Holocene glacier changes and brings us to the Lower Grindelwald Glacier, a valley glacier 8.2 km long and covering 17.8 km2, situated within the UNESCO World Heritage site “Swiss Alps Jungfrau‐Aletsch”. Thanks to the good accessibility of the low ice front during the Little Ice Age LIA, the Lower Grindelwald Glacier is the best‐documented Swiss valley glacier. A wealth of high quality depictions by top artists (e.g. Caspar Wolf and Samuel Birmann) over the centuries has allowed for the reconstruction of the LIA glacier fluctuations in a uniquely precise way. A longer reconstruction of glacial history (3,000 years!) was made possible by the discovery of fossil trees from the lateral moraines. Since the end of the LIA, the glaciers in the Grindelwald valley have been retreating (50% volume loss), with a dramatic increase in the rate of ice loss in recent years. Model simulations indicate a complete disintegration of the glacier by the end of the 21st century. The excursion also discusses recent changes in the landscape, namely the disintegration of the former ice tongue into a chaotic mass of moraines, ice dams and dead ice, leading to the formation of potentially high‐risk glacier lakes. For example, a big rockslide occurred below the Eiger east face in 2005.

  • The Eiger, North Face, Odyssee
    AAC Publications The Eiger, North Face, Odyssee Switzerland All photos by Frank Kretschmann / Funst.de I started dreaming of climbing a new route through the steepest part of the north face of the Eiger in 2002. I joined Steph Siegrist on his new project La Vida es Silbar (Siegrist-Steck, 2003) a few times. From my first moment in this small world on the Eiger, the central part of the wall fascinated me the most. While I was working on a free ascent of the Japanese Direttissima in 2003 with Simon Anthamatten, I watched Steph and Ueli Steck bolt my dream line, crying and smiling at the same time. They named it Paciencia. Simon and I missed the first free ascent of the Japanese Direttissima by one pitch. It was a 7b in the upper part of the route. We didn’t want to risk pulling the rope down for one more attempt due to heavy rockfall. Beginning in the summer of 2004, Robert Jasper and I fought another five seasons to completely free the Japanese Direttissima, finally succeeding in 2009. I felt that Robert and I were the perfect team for Eiger free ascents. We trust each other blindly, and in addition to being a great free climber, Robert has a lot of experience in hard mixed routes like the ones you often find on the Eiger. With our passion to free the great old Eiger routes, we were also able to free the Harlin Direttissima, with the Heckmair exit, in 2010, and in 2013 we freed the Ghilini-Piola Direttissima.
