How many climbers died including Andreas Hinterstoisser while climbing the Eiger north face?
1936 Eiger north face climbing disaster The 1936 Eiger north face disaster resulted in the death of five climbers during the 1936 climbing season on the north face of the Eiger.
Rockslide of Elm The rockslide of Elm (Canton of Glarus, Switzerland, in German Der Bergsturz von Elm) killed 115 people and destroyed 83 buildings on September 11, 1881. The catastrophe was partially caused by the mining of slate, beginning after 1870, by impoverished farmers who sought an additional source of income. Being inexperienced with proper mining techniques, they destabilized the rock face until the final catastrophe.
