Jim “The Bird” Bridwell has been one of the best climbers from the US, and in world. His abilities cover all disciplines, from free climbing on extreme routes, to the peaks of the Himalayas.
There are many, and very varied, techniques of sport climbing that can be different due to the features of each individual such as individual style, knowledge gained from instructors or more experienced climbers, and the individual’s physique and body co-ordination.
The extreme climbing discipline called “free soloing” is when climbers go it alone, foregoing ropes, harness and all other forms of protection during the climb. They use only their own body to scale the rock: meaning that an error can often prove fatal.
The Eiger is especially famous for its north face, which was one of the crux climbing problems of the nineteen thirties. This shirt pays tribute to the team of the Germans Heckmair and Vörg, and Austrians Kasparek and Harrer, who reached the summit on 25 July 1938.
