I couldn't figure out what was happening...it is this....With an edge sander, half a millimeter is sanded off each work piece (wood, walnut, transformer, skull or analogue camera) and photographed. About 650 photos are made into a short film, which contrasts the inner structure of nature and technology.

Ok, this is the second video that I have tried to embed that doesn't work and I have to just provide a link. What's going on? I assume the order of operations is to copy and paste into the "insert video" window when I click on it. However, it says that an error has occurred and it won't allow the video.

Absolutely incredible. I wondered if Uili was going to take his record back at some point. What would Heckmair say if you told him that some day, people would be climbing the north face in just over 2 hours :|:
 
Wow....I read a lot of the history on the wiki page...lots of people died some horrible ways. The story of Kurz was particularly bad.

Eiger...Ogre...good info. The 3 peaks...Virgin, Monk, Ogre....colorful names for such harsh places. Thanks for the link.
 
There is a book called "Eiger- Wall of Death" which is very cool. Its out of print, I read it from a library, it talked all about the early summit attempts and all the casualties and the crazy rescue attempts. Before the advent of helos, some of the bodies hung on their ropes, dangling in midair, unable to be retrieved, for years.

I was in that area a few years ago, it is thoroughly awesome for world class mountain hiking if thats your thing. Took the cog train up the mountain, up into the mountain, stopped at the window outlooks that were blasted into the mountain years ago for tourists. You look out the windows and the mountain is literally straight up and down there. You realize the serious balls it takes to climb up there. And we were there in late July, it was 85* in the valley with blazing sun. Up there on the mountain it was blowing hard and cold as chit (that is a scientific measurement).
