riding up thru Grindelwald toward the Wetterhorn mountain
 

north face of the Fiescherhorn above the Lower Grindelwald glacier
 

getting closer to the Wetterhorn which is next to the Grosse Scheidegg pass
 

road bends north toward the Schwarzhorn
 

south to the Schreckhorn peak above the Upper Grindelwald glacier
 


 

looking back down to Grindelwald, with the Lauberhorn + Tchuggen peaks above on the right horizon -- a little right of center between Eiger and Lauberhorn is a dark green pass with a snowy ridge beyond it -- that pass is called "Kleine Scheidegg" - (it's higher than the Grosse Scheidegg pass)
 

the north face of the Eiger peak -- Ken once climbed the Eiger by the jagged narrow ridge called "Mitteleggi" on the left of the summit, staying above the north face
 

up here normal motor vehicle traffic is not permitted on the road, mainly only special buses -- so lots of people just walk on the road
 

under the Wetterhorn, getting close now to the Grosse Scheidegg pass
 

west to the Mönch and Eiger peaks -- though the Mönch is behind, it's actually a little higher than the Eiger
 

Sunny snow of the Fiescher glacier below the Mönch peak.
 

Grosse Scheidegg pass, with its mountain hut/hotel and the Wellhorn mountain beyond
