In 1966, John Harlin II plummeted to his death whilst trying to conquer the north face of the Eiger. In 2005, his son attempted the same route as his father - despite swearing to his mother that he would never try to reach the peak of Europe's most feared mountain. This is his account of a dramatic and emotional ascent.
