"Taking on the Eiger" | 60 Minutes Archive

In 2015, Anderson Cooper reported from the Swiss Alps, where 60 Minutes cameras captured an extreme sportsman using a three-sport technique for the first time to descend the Eiger, one of the most forbidding mountains in the world. "60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.
