I remember being in Grindelwald once, watching it appear as the cloud cleared. It was like watching the repulsive monster appearing in a horror film. I got the impression that the Eiger Nordwand was for pussies who were too timid to try the Fiescherwand (mind you the Eigerwand utterly terrified me, while not looking remotely appealing to climb).

Yes, even more of it has fallen down, probably on anyone rash enough to climb it!
