Hey Guys,
I sold one of my mounts to a Pilot in Switzerland and he posted a nice video. I am an avid rock climber so I asked him if on his next flight, he can do a flight by the Matterhorn and Eiger and he said sure, so I cant wait to see it. Closest I have got to the Matterhorn involved a place with a ton of kids and an oversized mouse..
This was filmed on a Cessna 172.
Have a look:

My Swiss family is from Burgdorf. We would take the train through the Eiger, tunneled thru the granite.
Sent the video to my Dad.
I miss the Alps. The Franc vs. USD is really strong, easy to buy American products now.

Hi Marc,
Thank you for sharing the NetFlix link!! I have read about the Eiger and very familiar with the History of the North Wall attempts. The Germans were first. First solo was a Swiss.

My Dad is forwarding the video link back to Switzerland. Our friend is a pilot who flys the exact same area!
Dad really loved the video. The video gave me some "points".
Thanks again.
