[Idyllchat] IMAX film

[Jay Cloidt]

Heinrich Harrer's book, "The White Spider," gives a history of climbing the
north face of the Eiger as well as recounting the first successful attempt
to climb it. Harrer was a member of the team who succeeded. If I remember
correctly, he also gives some history and statistics about subsequent
attempts including the first winter expedition. People may know him from
"Seven Years in Tibet"

I enjoyed the book, but I'm a climber myself.
