Deep Blue Sea on Eiger Nordwand - A Rematch 23-Jun-2014 At 9:52:43 AM PThomson
Message
G'day all,

I just got back from Switzerland, having tried for a shot at Deep Blue Sea on the Eiger Nordwand. At the moment the route is out of condition, and despite having gotten TO it, there was too much ice, snow and water on it to be climb-able. The reality is that I was probably 1 - 2 months too early in the season for it, due to a very late winter season (we were actually hailed off several alpine multis this trip, which was falling as snow higher up).

It seems that the ideal time this year would probably be late July - late August.

So, tentatively, is there anyone here who is going to be over that way during this time period, who is capable of climbing mixed multi in the vicinity of 7b+ over 330m at 2600-3000m of elevation and would be up for joining me on a rematch? I haven't organised anything with work yet or made any solid plans, but I thought I'd just put it out there and see if anyone is interested.

Thanks.

-Paul
