Mt Eiger Climb Nears Summit in Harlin Descendant Attempt
German alpinist Joerg Lehne leads a 10 man team up Mt Eiger as thick clouds cloak the upper wall. They chase the dead American climber John Harlin whose rope broke in a fall 3 000 feet below the summit. The expedition marks a three nation effort with Britons and Americans awaiting ascent from The Spider glacier.
