Good sense of scale with the person in the foreground. Very nice image...

Re: from the Grenzgletscher

Thanks. We were with three climbers on the rope, and the person to thank for that foreground is Ryan, who is crossing a big snowbridge.

Breithorn definitely is a big mountain, and from this side there are only very difficult routes up there. From the other side it's a whole lot easier; in fact, the main Breithorn summit (the one on the far right, somewhat obscured by the clouds) is one of the easiest 4000-ers in the Alps to reach.
