Next day the natives shuddered. Mt. Eiger was enveloped in a swirling froth of snow. In spite of the fact that Swiss authorities had warned that local guides could no longer be asked to risk their lives trying to rescue Eigerwand climbers, two natives clambered to the summit over the usual route, peered down the overhanging wall when the storm let up for a moment, saw no one, returned to the valley.
