The Eiger North Face is one of the most famous and mentioned peaks in the world. The battle to climb this face has captivated the interest of climbers and non-climbers alike since the time of the first attempt in 1934.Using the RIEGL LPM-321, which offers a maximum range of 6km, it is possible to scan not only the Eiger North Face, but also the neighbouring rock-faces, from a single scan-position. Data acquisition needed approx. 7 hours. Finally the 3D-model based on approx. 600.000 measurements and 30 high resolution images should be used for visualization of the different climbing-routes.
