The foot stone , originally also called "Fuirstein" (flint), is a 3380 m above sea level according to the Austrian Federal Office for Metrology and Surveying . A. , according to literature 3381 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Tuxer Kamm within the Zillertal Alps . Because of its solid granite rock, it is an important climbing mountain.
location
The Fußstein lies in the Tuxer Kamm, one kilometer southwest of the Olperer , with which it is connected by a pronounced ridge. It is the dominant peak above the Alpeiner Tal, a side valley of the Valser Tal . The Foot stone is surrounded on two sides by glaciers: the north is the Olpererferner , southeast the Unterschrammachkees .
The communities of Vals and Schmirn ( Innsbruck-Land district ) and Finkenberg ( Schwaz district ) meet at the summit of the Fußstein . The Finkenberg part belongs to the Zillertal Nature Park .
Below the southern ridge, near the Alpeiner Scharte, is a former molybdenum plant from the Second World War. There is a climbing garden at the foot of the south wall .
Routes to the summit
- The easiest route to the Fußstein ( UIAA I ) leads from the Olpererhütte over the southeast side. This path was also chosen by the first climbers in 1880.
- The normal route , however, is the ascent over the southern flank from the Geraer Hütte ( UIAA II ), first walked in 1881 by Otto and Emil Zsigmondy and their companions.
- The most famous route is the classic north edge ( UIAA V- ), usually called the "foot stone edge ". It was first climbed in 1935 by H. Frenademetz and K. Tschaler and is also described in Walter Pauses Im extremen Fels .
- The south ridge ( UIAA III , Grün, Lechner and Lechner 1895) and the
- West-south-west ridge ( UIAA III , Haas, Fröhlich and Mühlsteiger 1896).
- The ridge crossing to the Olperer ( Lammer , 1884) showed the difficulty V- up to a rock fall ; now it is around VII (1 difficult to secure position).
