5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting story of man's quest to challenge himself, December 31, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Eiger: Wall of Death/Large Print (Hardcover)
I read this book several years ago. Never have i read a more compelling story about Man's life and death struggle with a Killer Mountain. Great Photographs and a great explanation of the science of Climbing, even for a novice. i highly recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure.

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent narrative on the Eigernordwand, October 11, 1999
By

This review is from: Eiger: Wall of Death/Large Print (Hardcover)
Arthur Roth does an excellent job detailing the history of climbing the Eiger North Face. Having lived in Switzerland, I visited the Eiger on several occasions and would marvel at that massive Wall before me. The book is an excellent narrative regarding the various climbs over the years and is in part a tribute to the many climbers who have lost their lives in those attempts. A "must read" for anyone hiking or climbing in Europe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Actually 4 1/2 stars: The best book on the Eiger?, July 7, 1998
By 
Bryan Moore (Jonesboro, AR United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Eiger: Wall of Death/Large Print (Hardcover)
This is a consistently interesting history of climbing on the Eiger's North Wall from the late 19th century to the late '70s. I'm not sure I've read a better narrative on mountain climbing, and I can't imagine a better book about the Eiger (though I've never read Harrer's THE WHITE SPIDER). Roth's account is well written, fair minded, vivid, sometimes harrowing, and always informative. Though I'll probably never have the money to see the Eiger firsthand (and I have neither the nerve nor experience to even think about climbing it), Roth provides us poor armchair alpinists with the best picture of the famous mountain that we can hope for. It's a shame that the book isn't more readily available. And why is it only in large print? This makes no sense to me. The photos are good, especially the ones that indicate the various routes, landmarks, and places where the unfortunates died. I had a hard time putting this book down. This is an absolute must for anyone interested in mountains and/or mountaineering, and I'd give it 4 1/2 stars if I could.
