Bishorn from afar

I spent last weekend hanging out visiting friends in Montana, which is right next to Crans-Montana, which is right above Sierre, which is in Valais. It turned out that from where we stayed, we had a rather magnificent view of The Weisshorn, and just on its left flank the Bishorn, which was the mountain that we climbed a few weeks ago. It was fun to see it from a distance.

Weisshorn (4506 m) (centre), and on its left, Bishorn (4153 m), above Sierre.

We were looking right at the north west side of the Bishorn, and so many people have pushed their way up that glacier that you could see the wide path of churned up snow leading to the summit. Taking the same picture above, zooming and enhancing, you can see it here.
