The Gray shimmers ( 3053 m above sea level. A. ) is a mountain peak in the Granatspitzgruppe in Tyrol . It is on the border of the municipal areas of Kals am Großglockner and Matrei in East Tyrol in the Muntanitzkamm . Other names for the summit are Grauer Schimmel and Graue Gimme . The origin of the name of the mountain is derived from the Romanic gimbus for hump or hump and can be translated as a gloomy, gray head . Neighboring peaks are the Große Muntanitz in the southeast and the Luckenkogel in the north.
Summit construction
The Graue Schimme lies between the Schimmescharte ( 2912 m above sea level ) in the northeast and the Grauscharte in the west ( 3000 m above sea level ), which is followed by the Graukogel ( 2983 m above sea level ). In the northeast there is a connecting ridge to the Großer Muntanitz. To the east of the Grauer Schimme lies the southern Loameskees, in the south the Muntanitzkees almost reaches the summit.
Increase opportunities
The normal ascent to the Grauer Schimme starts from the Obere Taxeralm ( 1653 m above sea level ) at Felbertauern Straße . The path leads first to the marked Kessleralm ( 1923 m above sea level ) and then pathless along the Petersbach and over ridges at an altitude of around 2800 meters to the small Muntanitzkees. Then the ascent continues on its left edge to a notch below the western ridge. The final ascent takes place over the stony ridge of the west ridge without any noteworthy climbing spots.
Another way to climb is the ascent from the Kalser Tauernhaus . The short, steep north ridge, however, has climbing spots ( difficulty level III ).
