Then it went to the Eastern Marzellspitze and the Hinteren Schwärze . The group then came to the Rötenspitze and Fanatspitze . After crossing the Karlesspitze , the mountaineers reached the Falschunggspitze, but Christomannos and his companions failed because of a weather change on the Hohe Wilden . After more than 20 hours they reached the Eishof in the Pfossental. Today the top is climbed from the Hochwildehaus .
