Simon Gietl and Roger Schäli on the summit of the Grandes Jorasses (4208m). With their ascent of The Shroud route the mountaineers have completed North6, their project to climb the six most famous north faces of the Alps, traveling from one mountain to the next by bike. The two mountaineers required 18 days to climb the north faces of Cima Grande di Lavaredo, Pizzo Badile, Eiger, Matterhorn, Petit Dru and Grandes Jorasses.
