On 9 February, the team of Roger Sch\u00e4li and Simon Gietl set a new speed record on Eiger North Wall , climbing in 4 hours and 25 minutes the Heckmair route \u00a0(Anderl Heckmair, Heinrich Harrer, Fritz Kasparek and Ludwig V\u00f6rg 1800 m + V, 50-55 \u00b0).
\n
\nThe previous record (5h 03 min) was established last fall by Ueli Steck and Bruno Schl\u00e4ppi. Ueli Steck owns the absolute solo ascent record, with 2 hours 47 minutes 33 seconds (13. 2. 2008).
\n
\nRoger Sch\u00e4li had climbed the same wall on January 4, but the day of the record, once at the Brittle Crack \u00a0realized to be incomparably faster and to scale "like in a trance and in a wonderful state of lightness" and to not have never been so fast climbing Eiger.
\n
\nFrom the base of the wall at 9 o’clock, the two reached the summit at 13h and 25\u2019. "Simon and I have a common training program that seems to work very well" – Roger Sch\u00e4li concludes, which is already preparing the next expedition to Turkey.
