The Eiger Wall, (left hand side)

(5 routes)

This was named after the Little Eiger since its left hand end is the corner with that crag. The Eiger Wall is the opposite side of the valley from the Organ Pipes.
The main problem with climbing this wall is the lack of good belay points at the top. You may have to go up to 20m to ﬁnd a decent boulder to use, so allow for that in your rope management.
