Mount Eiger, and Eiger Glacier, view is from the west side. The shaded side is the notorious north face. Later that week i would walk the Eiger Trail hike. That gave awesome sights straight up that massive north wall.
So many pictures, so many friends ... not enough time to comment on all of their postings. I can sum up my thoughts about this image Hans, with a single word. A word I seldom use because it's over used in my opinion. But after reading your narrative I feel comfortable using it here ... ... AWESOME !!
