  • Mountaineering in the 1900s was a fast-paced, dangerous, but ever-changing sport. Men from all over the world would conjugate to one location, where they would risk their lives through deadly perils, just to have their names go down in history as the first-ever successful summit of a route or peak. Many outsiders looking in, read the newspapers in awe of climbers like Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. While those part of the community were in brutal, year-long battles against snow, ice, and rock that cost many people their lives.
    Over the years, a few mountains became notorious due to a factor of reasons… size, difficulty, location, weather, you name it… but conquering one of these peaks meant your name would never be forgotten. Toni Kurz, a German mountain climber in the 1930s would be chasing the first summit on one of these peaks… the most famous rockwall in the world… the North face of the Eiger.. This is his story..

      What is worse, AI has no morals, no ethics at all. Inventing stories, lying, presenting it as fact - it just repulses me.

    This happened in summertime (July). I wonder how much snow there really was on the North Face of the Eiger at this time. Nowadays, in July, it's usually not that much, looking from below. I guess there will be nothing or almost nothing left in a few decades, if not earlier.

  • @calebmorgan6939

    :10 you don't mean "conjugate" -- that's something dirty you do with verbs. You mean "congregate" (in) one location.

    2:09 Don't think that's the Eiger. It's the Goûter Route up Mont Blanc. Prone to fairly random dangerous rock falls. It got shut down one season.

    Berchtesgaden is pronounced. Bear (British accent) - German throat K (imitate the sound of a static radio) - tess (like test without the last T. - gaden (simple American pronounced. B - air - static radio throat - tess - gaden.

    1:30 why do you call this "one of the most enigmatic"? It's not enigmatic, it's right there. Forbidding, formidable, etc: there's a ton of words that would work, but enigmatic is not one.
