Grand scene, Bob!
This photo of yours brought back many fond memories of when I used to do a lot of climbing of these peaks. Alas, not in the lovely weather exposed in your photo, rather in heavy rain and sleet.

This vividly brings back keen memories of my climbing days!
Thanks, Bob. Memories awakened – and I always remember the clouds around the Eiger which one had to keep an extremely watchful eye upon!Laurence
