The highest  at 13 638 feet  is the Jungfrau. Next is the Mnch  at 13 465 feet. But it is the smallest  the Eiger  rising 13 038 feet above sea level  that is by far the deadliest. Called a \"living\" mountain for its constantly changing conditions-unpredictable weather  disintegrating limestone surfaces  and continuously falling rock and ice-its mile-high north wall is perhaps the most dangerous climb in the world. And that may be just what beckons elite Alpinists to scale the treacherous peak against the odds. In 1957  nearly forty years before the well-known Mount Everest tragedy  two teams of confident climbers set out to summit the north wall of the Eiger Mountain. Not long into their journey  onlookers could tell that the four men were headed for disaster. Soon rescue teams from all over Europe raced toward the Eiger-yet only one of the four climbers survived to face unfounded international accusations. In a story as fascinating as any novel  Jack Olsen creates a riveting account of daring adventure  heroic rescue  and one of the most baffling mysteries in the history of mountain climbing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67896236245045,"sku":"ByrdShop_0312194501","price":59.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780312194505.jpg?v=1793773666","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-climb-up-to-hell-9780312194505","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
