The Gimpel is a mountain in the Tannheimer Mountains , a subgroup of the Allgäu Alps . It is 2173 m high. The name can be traced back to the Gimpelalpe in the "Mulde" ( Celtic Comba). The bullfinch consists of Wetterstein limestone .
location
The Judenscharte connects it with the Roten Flüh , with the Kellenspitze der Schäfer ( 2060 m ), also known as the “little bullfinch”.
Alpinism
There are numerous climbing tours on the Gimpel, from classic alpine routes such as the West Ridge (first climbed by J. Bachschmid and E. Christa in 1896, UIAA III + ) to the top sport climbing Primavera (first climbed by Baldo Pazzaglia 1992 UIAA IX−).
Even the normal route through the south wall and the east ridge is only accessible by climbing (difficulty II ).
In 1990 Toni Freudig discovered a cave system in the south wall (Gimpellabyrinth).
In 1999, the Gimpel was one of the first mountains in the Allgäu whose frequently used routes were equipped with bolts after a rope team from Oy / Mittelberg had an accident on the neighboring Roten Flüh after a broken hook and a resulting rope team fall .
