Location and surroundings
The Hohe Gleirsch is the westernmost summit of the Gleirsch-Halltal chain, southeast of Scharnitz , on the northern border of the Innsbruck municipality . To the north, the mountain falls with up to 900 meters high steep rock walls to the Hinterautal , as the valley in which the Isar rises is called here. To the south-west, the Hohe Gleirsch is characterized by heaps of rubble, which also gave the mountain its name, which is derived from the Romanic glarea ( Romanic for "rubble"). The area above the Gleirschtal is dominated by the Schrofengelände and Latschengürtel . To the southeast lies the Gleirscher Riegelkar , to the east the Gleirsch-Halltal chain continues to the Outer ( 2407 m above sea level ) and Inner Riegelkarspitze ( 2438 m above sea level ) and the Jägerkarspitze .
Paths to the summit
The normal route to the Hohen Gleirsch leads as a marked trail from the Amtssäge ( 1223 m above sea level ) in the Gleirschtal over the lower Riegelkar and then on over the southwest flank to the summit. The largely pathless ascent directly from the Gleirschtal over the southwest flank as well as the one over the upper Riegelkar and the south ridge have difficulty level I (UIAA) . The long access from Scharnitz through the western Hinterautal and the Gleirschtal to the official saw can be shortened by bike. In winter, the Hohe Gleirsch is also climbed on a ski tour.
A number of barely used climbing routes of difficulty levels III to V lead through the huge wall breaks on the north side into the Hinterautal .

history
The first ascent of the Hohen Gleirsch was carried out in 1859 by Leopold Pfaundler von Hadermur , Robert von Hörmann, Hugo von Enzenberg (also Enzensperg ) and Josef von Trentinaglia as part of their survey of the Gleirsch-Halltal chain, which also included geological and botanical studies. The climbing routes on the north walls were developed in the first half of the 20th century. Even Otto Herzog and Gustav Haber left their mark here (north-west wall).
