Heinrich Harrer was born in 1912 in Carinthia. His skiing prowess won him a place in the 1936 Austrian Olympic team. He was imprisoned by the British in India during World War II, but escaped and traveled to Tibet, a story he recounts in the classic Seven Years in Tibet.
THE WHITE SPIDER
By the author of 'Seven Years in Tibet'
The mountaineer, writer and Olympic athlete Heinrich Harrer was a member of the four-man party which made the first ascent of the notorious North Wall of the Eiger in July 1938. 'The White Spider' is his classic account of that achievement, and of the previous, unsuccessful attempts to make that terrible climb.
"The best and most exciting mountaineering book... Few who read it will fail to be thrilled by this heroic story."
LISTENER
"An outstanding book in the mountaineering library. It tells the story of the Eigerwand, the appallingly steep and difficult North Face of the Eiger... The author is well qualified for his task."
GUARDIAN
"Even to look at the photographs of the terrible slopes of the Eiger chills the blood. Heinrich Harrer enables the reader to vicariously experience the cold and the terror of the terrible climb... Read Harrer and suffer."
IRISH PRESS
"'The White Spider' provides almost the classic statement of the weird and frequently misunderstood psychology of the modern rock-climber. Despite the grimness of much of what he is doing, Herr Harrer communicates the irresistible joy of climbing as an antidote to the idea that climbers are masochistically trying to prove something to themselves."
