from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Jakob Innerkofler , known as Hans Innerkofler or "Das Gamsmannl" (* July 24, 1833 in Sesto , † August 11, 1895 there ), was a Tyrolean farmer, fishing owner and mountain guide .

Among the first ascent of Hans Innerkofler are the Zwölferkofel (1874) and the Cadin del Neve (1881). He became particularly well-known for the first ascent of the Kleiner Zinne , which he carried out with his brother Michael Innerkofler in 1881, which was considered one of the most important tours of its time and a milestone in the development of climbing on steep rock. Hans Innerkofler, who was described as a "drinking and humorous original and mountain climber out of enthusiasm", suffered from a strong alcohol dependence . He is said to have been locked up by his brother Michael to sober up before difficult ventures. Because of his passion for hunting and his skillful climbing style, he was nicknamed "Das Gamsmannl ".
