I have been at the Eiger twice myself, and i can just recommend it to visit Grindelwald/Eiger to everyone. The mountain with his north-face is very impressive. Like the K2 is one of the most difficult mountains for climbers nowadays, it was the Eiger in the 20s and 30s. So last time i was in Grindelwald (the village below the Eiger) this October, i saw in one advertising window of the local cinema the movie "Nordwand"! Unlucky the movie was booked out on that day, so i could not see the film until now! And what can i say, the story has everything, its thrilling and dramatic and also is a true story. There are a few untrue moments but you can overlook them. So my advice is, if you can see in the movies, don't wait, run and watch it!
