Michael Gilbert and Scott Backes got soaked to the bone climbing the Waterfall Pitch on the North face of the Eiger. When they stopped for the night at the Brittle Ledges, they discovered their sleeping bags were drenched as well. Michael asked, “What are we going to do now?” Scott replied, “We’re going to suffer.”
