From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The White Spider: The Classic Account of the Ascent of the Eiger is a non-fictional book by Heinrich Harrer and Hugh Merrick documenting the first attempts to climb the Eiger Nordwand alpine face. The title of the book is derived from a spider-shaped ice field high on the north face of the mountain, towering above the town of Grindelwald, Switzerland.
