The photos below should help bring to life my book, The Eiger Obsession: Facing the Mountain That Killed My Father. When the book was published in 2007, I promised to add many more photos here soon, and also to publish some of my father’s writing. Someday this will happen, but in the meantime I hope you enjoy these.

    The Eiger Obsession is available in four languages, or five if you prefer the Queen’s English to my own. U.S. hardcover: Simon & Schuster; U.S. softcover: Lyons Press; United Kingdom: Random House UK; Germany: MALIK/Piper; France: Editions Guérin; Italy: Vivalda.

    Each chapter of photos (below) is introduced by a brief selection of text from that chapter in the book.
