Famous for his knowledge of The Eiger's north face, Robert first attempted to climb the mountain at the young age of sixteen. Since that time, he has grown into an expert on The Eiger, scaling the wall in over fourteen instances throughout his lifetime. Accompanied by his loving wife Daniela, herself a well-known ice climber, the duo form a team that effortlessly aided John Harlin III in reaching his goal of the Eiger's summit.
