Book
In 1966, John Harlin II plummeted to his death whilst trying to conquer the north face of the Eiger. In 2005, his son attempted the same route as his father - despite swearing to his mother that he would never try to reach the peak of Europe's most feared mountain. This is his account of a dramatic and emotional ascent.
