The Climb Up to Hell plunges into the dramatic heart of the Bernese Oberland, tracing the 1957 attempt to conquer the Eiger's notorious north face.

Unpredictable weather, disintegrating rock, and falling ice turn a daring bid for glory into a desperate struggle for survival, as only one of four climbers lives to tell the story.

  • Insights into mid-century mountaineering and European rescue efforts
  • Detailed portrait of the Eiger’s mile-high north wall
  • A blend of investigative reporting and vivid narrative

This gripping account explores human ambition and the razor-thin line between triumph and tragedy on one of the world’s deadliest peaks.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!

The book was in excellent condition and it arrived in approximately 5 days, much sooner than I had expected. I would definitely recommend this vendor.
