Analysis: Mail on Sunday, Eiger Sanction
Sunday, June 1st, 2008
Nick Fielding wrote a two page article (30 January, 1994) about the deaths of three BMG mountain clients on the West Flank of the Eiger (the tourist descent route) in July, 1992. The BMG guide/s as usual – survived. Whilst the BMG made a show of banning the lead guide involved, he has since been reinstated as a member of the Association of British Mountain; he was for a time, the oldest Aspirant Guide – ever! The dead clients of course, will never work again, their career’s ruined, along with the lose of any potential children and potential grandchildren for the clients parents… The other two guides, Jan Rowe and Dave Halton were never brought to account. Apparently, some unqualified guides can work for-gain if they are working for UIAGM guides and other independent not working for UIAGM guides must be put out of work; out of circulation – in Europe.
