Eiger Extreme
Past the Death Bivouac and Traverse of the Gods to the summit. The Eiger North Face is the embodiment of Extreme. On the second ice field, the Traverse of the Gods or the Spider, humans and equipment are put through harrowing tests. The Eiger Extreme collection has been developed for times like these. The abrasion-resistant textiles and new combinations of materials are exceptionally light, withstand extreme mechanical strains and offer maximum protection against climatic influences.

A new record on the North Face of the Eiger For some, it’s the nightmare of the Alps, for others it’s their greatest aim. No other rock face polarises quite as much as the Eiger North Face. The best mountaineers in the world come to Grindelwald to pit themselves against it. In 1938, the first ascent took the climbers four days. Today, the speed record set by the Swiss mountaineer and Mammut Pro Team athlete Daniel Arnold stands at 2 hours 28 minutes. He has shaved 20 minutes off Ueli Steck’s previous record to become the new speed record holder on the Eiger.

Climbing has continuously developed. As is also demonstrated by more than thirty new routes, for example “Magic Mushroom”. 20 pitches, 600 meters of climbing, a difficulty rating of 7c and, as the reward, the breathtaking freedom on the steepest mushroom in the world. This progress would not have been possible without the equally rapid development of materials. Mammut is playing a leading role in this area, and with the Eiger Extreme collection is confirming its commitment to uncompromising quality and innovation. For more information: www.mammut.ch/extreme
