"The White Spider."
Harper Perennial, 2005, ISBN 0 00 719784 5
The best book on the adventure of climbing the Eiger. This is not a litany of disaster and wasted lives, but rather a roll call of endeavour and outstanding achievement. Buy several copies and give them to friends and visitors since it is a book about humanity as much as it is about mountaineering
