Eiko No Iwa Kabe Last Volumes (Shincho Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Takehiko Takei, a "six footer," is groomed by a beautiful woman who runs an athletic equipment business in Mito. However, his obsession with rock walls is insatiable, and his longing for Europe grows. He first attempted the North Face of the Eiger, but gave up on the way due to his inherently prudent judgment. Once again, dragging his bloodied feet, he became the first Japanese to conquer the North Face of the Matterhorn. This full-length novel, based on a real person, depicts a man who overcomes all difficulties.
