About this book

The book 'The White Spider' is written by Heinrich Harrer. In this classic of climbing literature, Harrer chronicles the history of mankind’s battle against the North Face of the Eiger, a mountain in the Swiss Alps. The Eiger’s North Face is a sheer drop, basely icy and rocky, constantly bombarded with avalanches. Harrer was a member of the four-man party that scaled this previously immaterial wall in 1938.
