Thanks everyone for the comments, positive and negative, critique and suggestions. It is always a struggle (for me, at least) to find a balance between spectacular and natural, impactful and believable (in post-processing).
The latest version I posted (on Flickr, and automatically updated in my first post on this thread, takes into account some of the comments I found valid. Stamper, you are right, the version before that was a bit desaturated, so I brought back some, especially in the trees. Hans, I increased the contrast a bit as well.
I continue to disagree (with some) about the amount of foreground. I believe that, as Russ et al do as well, that much foreground is necessary to balance the sheer visual weight of the mountain. I accept, however, that the foreground should be less crunchy, so I adjusted it with a ND grad, by darkening it, reducing clarity, contrast and saturation a bit.
At the end, I wanted to share, for what it is worth, the original file, straight out of camera (with LR defaults, obviously):
P.S. I would also strongly suggest to see the OP photo on Flickr, given that there it will be on a black background. The white background here does dim brightness and saturation a bit.
