Eiger Nordwand in South America

I swear this mountain looks like a (smaller) model of the Eiger Nordwand. It was taken by me near the village of Miña in Peru and in the Colca region. It's about 500 meters high.

Full sized:

The rock seems to be different from Eiger's. Where is Mittellegi ridge there :?:

Anyway, Eiger is unique IMO

Good and concave the way the big one is

I've seen the Eiger only once, while making a 5 days ski-mountaneering trip in Jungfrau Group :
from just below (not from Kleine Scheidegg) it looked to me an horrible wall of big stones ...
from the Stollenloch it looked even worse ...
those were my personal feelings

Cholatse's North Face looks much finer

but this wall looks brittle and "warmer" then the eiger northface
