Hi All,
Over the past few years most of the physical challenges I've embarked upon have been with one eye on the Eiger- Mittellegi ridge climb. The goal is for a 2015 /16 date with the difficulty and danger of the route being well respected and planned for. Info from this site and many others have been invaluable. Now it's time to draw specific experiences from others that have climbed this route?
In 2014 we hope to complete the Torment-forbidden traverse in Cascades,WA. This objective as well as the Eiger climb will be embarked upon with the expertise of a professional guide.
My question:-
Many variables... but how difficult is the Mittellegi route, really? Would the TFT be a good comparison based on overall difficulty and objective danger.
Im hoping to hear from those that have done both climbs mentioned... or similar comparable routes in North America that compare to the Mittellegi route. If you feel other routes would provide ideal 'practise' then I'd love to read that as well.
Many thanks in advance!
