You'll meet your guide in evening at the accommodation to go through the plan for the week and to evaluate the current weather and mountain conditions. You will meet with your fellow climbers and your guides so you can ask any questions and will have a chance to go through your kit.
Warm up day on a fantastic alpine route above Chamonix. Always good to spend the first day refreshing skills and familiarising yourselves with our guides and your other team mates on the course.
Day one of two spent in the high mountains above Chamonix, overnighting in a mountain refuge to help with acclimatisation. Typical routes would be traversing the Aiguilles Entreves, climbing the Tour Ronde and the Dent du Géant. This is the final preparation for the Mittellegi Ridge on the Eiger and superb routes themselves.
Day two of two spent in the high mountains that tower above Chamonix, with a final night in a mountain refuge to help with your acclimatisation. You will take a different route than the previous day.
You'll take a drive to Grindelwald in the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland and take the famous mountain train and walk to the Mittellegi hut, ready for our summit push the following day.
This is the day you have been waiting for. Summit day has arrived and with all the preparation and acclimatisation we have done we set off to climb the Eiger and then descend to the Mönchsjoch Hut via the south ridge.
Adventure Base have included a spare day in this itinerary to deal with any bad weather and maximise our chance of success. Once down from the Mönchsjoch Hut we return to Chamonix.
Say your sad farewells and return the real world with a refreshed sense of achievement.
