“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 Harrer and Kasparek, of Vienna-were on the exposed precipice 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.
This first ascent of the north face of the mountain was made in des Hance of a ban imposed by the au- thorities. Because it feast 12 climb- ers had been killed on the North Wall in the last three years, a hotleg had been erected announcing that "the climbing of thla side of the mountain is forbidden under pain of
