Just watched the video what a load of rollocks. The N face of the Eiger is 5000 ft ( you can only really see on the video from death bivoac to the white spider and to the summit, less than half the full wall ( looked at climbing it when i was young dumb and full of ... but it looked too terrifying ! )I would love to see how he gets into FVRS so quickly. I have been in FVRS as stated in a previous post and i can assure those who have not been there that the North wall would be going up a dam site quicker than is shown. There is no pitching / rolling massive vibration that I encountered so i seriously doubt that he is in FVRS probably just a high rate of descent that most helicopters can power out of . In the case of a Hu300 800ft a min and she will climb back up, Hu 369 about 1000 ft a min those are all from a high hover dumping the lever and at 800 ft a min pulling power back in !
Oh well i suppose i could be wrong
