ThanksThanks for enlightening me that the Eiger has a side other than the North Face. Great Photo!

Re: ThanksDo people climb the south face, too? I'd never heard of it.

Re: ThanksThere is one commonly described route on the face. It was climbed first in 1937 (second ascent not until 1964) with a direct finish variation added in 1974.
It is very difficult: TD- with pitches of V and VI-. The rock is described as poor with frequent rock fall.

Route on South FaceThere is indeed a route up the south face from the Eiger, it was made in 2001 - not that i've climbed it, no no :) i'm not that good (yet).
see here: http://www.toprope.ch/de/fun/eigersued.php
It is indeed very difficult (7+ on the french climbing scale, which is a VIII / 5.11c. 22 pitches, with bivouac).
Cheers, Housi
