1991 Metanoia, a new direct route on the Eiger's north face, that he opened solo and without bolts

Speaking as a climber, a climb doesn't count unless you climb off the mt. alive he called for a helicopter to lift him off the top of this one, = half a climb — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.9.22.214 (talk) 22:25, 16 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

He did climb the entire route from bottom to top. He left his rucksack and free soloed the last 80 meters to the top to be saved by a helicopter, so, he made it. Akseli9 (talk) 22:31, 16 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

George (IV) is Jeff's cousin, not brother. 171.66.170.117 (talk) 19:21, 3 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
