The Eiger would be great and I might be getting on it later this year, but rockfall in summer? Anyway, here are some of our shots from the north ridge of Piz Badile. From memory, the steeper slab sections are bolted but you need to take a small rack. We would have taken a few cams from 0.5 to 2 or 3 and a biner's worth of medium to large wires. We climbed as 2 pairs so had 2 x 60m ropes for descent. 2 ropes can speed things up on descent but if it's breezy it's just more rope to blow off the ridge and get tangled!

The Sasc Fura hut

Looking back to where we detoured L, following other parties. Better to stick to the ridge the whole way like the guide coming up behind did.

The bivy hut.
