Outdoor gear company Mammut has launched a new initiative called Project360, which gives mountaineers, both actual and armchair, a chance to explore the North Face of the Eiger from the safety and comfort of their homes. This new multimedia project allows us to make a virtual ascent along this iconic route using our computers or mobile devices, and the results are quite spectacular. The video below gives you a behind the scenes look at how Project360 came to be, and just how they managed to capture an incredible 3D map of the Eiger. Once you’ve finished watching the clip, head over to the Project360 website to explore the mountain yourself.
