Yeah sure.

Not bad.

I'll just take these things inside.

Maybe you'll come tonight after all?

Now that Luise is coming too.

Where am I coming too?

I'm back.

- Same old Andi, hm?

- Yes.

He's game for anything.

And you?

- When did you start smoking?

- A while ago.

Hey, you two!

I read your article in the local newspaper.

It was great!

My boss read it too.

You're the talk of Berlin.

We are?

You and the other top mountaineers.

With the Olympics coming up,

they're pushing the Eiger.

They want stories about the first ascent.

- Full coverage.

- That's why you're here?

They gave me the story.

Evening.

- Hello, Luise.

- Hi.

- Back in Bavaria?

- Just temporarily.

Luise is making her career

in the capital, Erlberger.

Don't you wish you could too?

I go wherever the Fuhrer needs me.

Who knows why they chose me?

But imagine...

if you did it!

You'd be on the front page.

Berchtesgaden Heroes Conquer

Last Problem of the Alps!

Famous all over Germany.

Exactly.

Front page,

and no more making coffee.

Except for myself.

Cheers!

I'm sure you'll write a terrific story,

but not about us,

we're skipping the Eiger.

What?

You're skipping the Eiger?

No way, I know you.

If you know so much,

you must have heard of...

Max Sedlmayer and Karl Mehringer.

We knew both of them,

two first-class alpinists.

On the "Death Wall"

there's sunshine one minute...

and a blizzard the next.

Or you get hit by an avalanche

or a rock slide.

That's not climbing.

You can be the best,

but it's still a lottery.

That's why we're skipping it.

I'm tired.

I'm going home.

Andi, don't forget the curfew.

Luise, good luck,

see you around.

What was that?

We prefer cleaning latrines these days.

It's just like when we went climbing as kids.

- What?

- Me chasing after you.

I want something I can be proud of too.

And if they print my story...

You must understand that.

I do understand,

just find 2 other climbers.

You're so stubborn.

But I always waited for you in the end.

Faster, you can go much faster!

Go!

Lazy bastards.

- Look at this joke of a wall.

- Leave me alone.

No talking!

Climb!

I thought you could do this.

Faster!

Thanks.

Next!

What's wrong?

I'm not hungry.

Hey, Andi,

how long are you going to be mad at me?

How long are you going to be

too coward to even try?

You and I could be the first ones up there.

That's not what climbing is about.

Yes it is,

that's exactly what it's about.

I want to prove to the world

what I can do and who I am.

I don't have to prove anything to anyone.

I climb for myself.

Understand? For me alone.

Just arrived from Munich.

I imagined it much bigger.

On such a tiny...

I don't even know what it's called.
