The left-most of the peaks in the center is the one which Becherhaus sits on, the one to the right is Signalgipfel (with Wild Freiger hidden behind it). I had skied down to the left on the far side of Becherhaus across the top of the rocky slopes, then came back across the the right below those rocks. I tried to ski down through them at one point but the snow was getting very wet and there were open glide cracks so I retreated back up to the glacier. I had originally intended to go up the basin to the right in front of Becherhaus and behind the right peak, Roter Grat. But due to the increasingly wet snow even early in the day I ended up continuing down in the direction behind me as I took this photo.This was taken at about 2700 m and the snow was getting thinner and was saturated through by mid-morning.
