I'd go for, in simple terms: desaturate, reduce contrast, increase brightness.

I disagree with some of the comments left on the image like 'it's blown out' etc., as it's got a great range of tones. I think this can be achieved with careful adjustments in PS using curves and channel mixer. It's a once-only kind of treatment in my view though, and this is a beautiful job (if you like that kind of thing).

Use Levels. Drag the black Output Levels slider to the right and the gray Input Levels slider to the left.

you can always do this using gradient map. using a grey to white gradient.

First things that came to mind was to create a new layer, fill the entire thing white, then adjust opacity. Or duplicate layer and set blending mode to screen, linear/color burn. Just experiment. Probably many ways to acheive this effect.
