1936 Eiger north face climbing disaster
The 1936 Eiger north face Disaster resulted in the death of five climbers during the 1936 climbing season on the north face of the Eiger. After a deadly and unsuccessful German attempt in 1935, ten climbers from Austria and Germany traveled to the still-unclimbed Eiger in 1936, but before serious summit attempts could get underway one climber was killed during a training climb. The weather was so bad that after waiting for a change and seeing none on the way, several climbers gave up. Only four remained, two Bavarians, Andreas Hinterstoisser and Toni Kurz, the youngest of the party, and two Austrians, Willy Angerer and Edi Rainer.
