“UNCLIMBABLE” PRECIPICE
IS SCALED
Four Men Clung To Ledges
For Three Nights
Fighting their way upwards through a blizzard, four young German climbers have conquered the "unscaleable" North Wall of the Eiger, the 13,038-feet peak in the Bern- ese Oberland, which has claimed many victims.

The men-Foerg and Heckmeier, of Munich, and branches of the National Association Harrer and Kasparek, of Vienna-were on the exposed précipice for three days and three nights.
The North Wall is sheer for 3,000 feet, and the climb up the final 120 feet occupied five hours.

of the mountain was made in di-. flange of bur imposed by the at- thorities, Brenne at least 12 elimb- et had been killed on the North Wall in the last three years, a notice hatt been erected announcing that "the climbing of this site of the mountain is forbidden under pain of a fine of 35 franc-about 21 125. | nd.
Emphasis was added to, this warn- int by the fact that for many months six Godler-victims of previous uc ridients--could be seen dangling from
ropes on the northern face of the Biper.
