Beautiful picture, sorry I didn't see it before.

The small Holy Virgin statue on the summit is barely visible as a tiny bright speck.

The normal descent route goes down zig-zag on the snow slopes on the centre. Not hard (far less steep than apparent in this picture), but treacherous. Several climbers have lost their lives in these few dozen meters, "skidding" or being avalanched.
