Dear Diary,

My team and I got ready to climb the north face of The Eiger. In order to climb the Eiger I had to climb Mont Blanc but that was a practice.

The weather changed after 9 days so we can start to climb the mountain.

I'm 62 years old and even though I have a fear of heights I still want to reach the summit.

Tomorrow will be our first day of the climb. We got prepared for the climb of the North Face of the Eiger by packing tools and an ice pick. I will be nervous on the first day!

Dear Diary,

Today was the beginning of my challenge to reach the top of the North Face. I feel happy about myself because I can raise money for the Marie Curie Cancer fund but I'm sad at the same time because I feel lonely without my family.

We got past the difficult crack and i felt amazing. It was quite hard, i nearly slipped, but luckily my ice picks helped me to make a crack on the mountain so i could pull myself up. It was Hair-raising!

I am going to sleep on the side of this mountain for the first time and I am quite scared, I could fall off! Hopefully it doesn't happen and I can continue the journey in the morning.

Dear Diary,

Today it is the second day on the mountain. I gazed at the fabulous sunrise from my tent when i woke up this morning. It was a colorful sunrise and the clouds where as white as paper.

My team and i climbed up towards the summit. We couldn't retreat because of the sheer drop which was below us. if i fall down i would die because of the vertical rocks.

we saw the sheer drop and it was hard to climb,

and Ian nearly fell off the mountain.

Dear Diary,

We had a good sleep, even though we
