Robert Jasper’s career as a mountaineer is closely linked to the north face of the Eiger: he has climbed the north face of the Eiger sixteen times using a wide variety of routes. One highlight was the first solo ascent of the ‘Spit Verdonesque édenté’ (VIII- / A1) in just four hours.  In 1999, Robert Jasper completed the most difficult route to date up the north face of the Eiger, the ‘Symphonie de Liberté’ 8a (X-). At the time, this was also the most difficult route ever freeclimbed on the north wall of the Alps. It was only after several days on the wall, bivouacking in a hanging tent, and several falls of up to fifteen metres, that they managed to climb with all ropes free (Rotpunkt).

In 2005, for Robert’s twentieth anniversary on the north face of the Eiger, he and Daniela climbed the north face of the Eiger for the thirteenth time to film the IMAX film ’The Alps.’ In 2006, he completed the first Rotpunkt ascent of the 1000 metre Yeti-Route 9+, (7c/c+) on the north face of the Eiger.
