Biggest Wall in the Alps

October 11, 2005

Just wrapped up 3 weeks of 12-16 hour days (and in some cases 18 and even 20 hour days) of shooting in the Swiss Alps. Yeah, yeah, quit yer bitchin’ as my friends say. Not many people get to spend time in the one of the most beautiful mountain environments on the planet. I was working for Yahoo.com and in partnership MacGillervray-Freeman Films who were making an IMAX format film on a climbing team attempting the biggest wall in the Alps. The cold north face of the Eiger at about 5,500 feet is pretty much as gnarly as it gets. Loose, falling rock and ice, constant wet storms is pretty much the norm.
