The White Spider is symbol of danger and death for climbers. It is a field of ice in the upper reaches of the North Face of the Eiger, with icy crevices leading away from it, reminiscent of a spider's limbs. The White Spider turns into a funnel of avalanches and rock slides from above it, posing a serious danger to climbers.
