construction

The Schlenkerspitze massif is a two-kilometer long rock wall made of main dolomite . The north ridge drops to the Galtseite-Joch, the south-west ridge connects the Große Schlenkerspitze with the Kleine Schlenkerspitze ( 2748  m above sea level ) and then crashes into the Hintere Dremelscharte. The east ridge creates the connection to the Brunnkarspitze. The entire dangling massif is considered to be brittle and torn, the ridges are peppered with countless towers because the rock layers are vertical here.
