AN ALPINE FEAT

PRECIPITOUS PEAK CLIMBED BY GERMANS. ASCENT MADE IN DEFIANCE OF AUTHORITIES. LONDON, July 24. Four young Germans for the first time climbed the north wall of the Eiger, a 13,000 feet peak in the Bernese Oberland. Twelve climbers have been killed on this north wall in three years. The successful assault was made in defiance of a ban by the authorities. The ascent occupied three days. The final, precipice is a sheer 3000 feet. The men clung to ridges in the last 120 feet for five hours in a snowstorm.
