We're on the crest of a ridge at the northwestern edge of the Monte Rosa massif, a ridge that we needed to cross to get from the Gorner Glacier to the Monte Rosa Glacier itself.
Mark is looking up, along the ridge and beyond, to the upper Monte Rosa glacier, Nordend and the Dufourspitze. Our plan is to camp somewhere, and climb one or both of them tomorrow, depending on the weather and on how we feel. But first things first, and that's getting off the ridge and on Monte Rosa Glacier.
