The Jochköpfl , named after the Timmelsjoch , is 3143 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Windach-Brunnenkogel ridge , a subgroup of the Stubai Alps . It lies almost exactly on the state border between the Austrian state of Tyrol and the Italian province of South Tyrol . The border runs about 150 meters east of the survey point on the summit. To the south, the mountain sends a well-defined and walkable ridge that is a good kilometer long. A 700-meter-long ridge leads to the southwest, ending at the Rötenkarscharte at an altitude of 2,832 meters. The Jochköpfl was probably first climbed by chamois hunters and surveyors' assistants in the 1850s. Tourist ascents from the 19th century are not recorded. Ludwig Purtscheller , however, undertook to traverse all the summits of the ridge on August 22, 1890 and also reached what is now known as Jochköpfl.
Surroundings
The Jochköpfl is located about two and a half kilometers north-northeast of the Timmelsjoch ( 2474 m ) and about 6 km as the crow flies northwest of St. Martin am Schneeberg , South Tyrol. In the west and north of the mountain, glaciers stretch up to a height of 3050 meters. In the north lies the little inclined Kitzkampferner and in the west the Rötenkarferner, which is strongly declining due to global warming . Neighboring mountains are in the northwest, separated by a notch at 3068 m , the 3137 m high Schraakogel , along the northeast ridge the 3061 m high Vordere Kitzkogel and along the south ridge the Timmelsjochberg at 2970 m . The southwest ridge runs out towards Timmelstal in the Untere Wannenkar .
Bases and routes
The normal route to the Jochköpfl leads over the south ridge from the Timmelsjochstraße to the east right on the Wietenbach up to the Karsee in the Upper Wietenbachkar . From there, the route leads to the south ridge and then on to the summit in moderately difficult climbing with difficulty UIAA II . According to literature, walking time from the street is three hours. The inn on the Timmelsjoch can serve as a base. Via the south-west ridge, the mountain can only be conquered with climbing skills of difficulty level UIAA III (medium difficulty). Another, somewhat easier route leads over the Rötenkarferner as a combined high-altitude tour / UIAA II, and can only be climbed with appropriate equipment and experience.
