The Keilbachspitze ( Italian Punta di Conio ) is 3094 m above sea level. A. high jagged rock peaks in the Zillertal main ridge and lies on the border between the Austrian state of Tyrol and the Italian province of South Tyrol .
Location and surroundings
Between the Großem Löffler ( 3379 m ) in the west and the Wollbachspitze ( 3209 m ) in the east, the main ridge of the Zillertal, which forms the southern border of the Stillup Valley , descends significantly. The Keilbachspitze, which protrudes slightly to the south, forms the highest point in this part of the main ridge and is the only independent summit of this ridge section that exceeds the 3000 mark. From the south, at the entrance to the Tauferer Ahrntal , the Keilbachspitze is the first summit of the Zillertal main ridge that can be seen when entering the valley between St. Georgen and Gais .
The summit sends out three distinctive ridges: the northwest ridge to Frankbachjoch ( 2760 m ), the northeast ridge to Keilbachjoch ( 2836 m ) and the long south ridge that separates the Frankbachtal in the west from the Keilbachtal in the east, both of which are northern side valleys of the Ahrntal . In the north-west ridge rises up at a distance of 350 meters with the Sonntaggabel ( 3052 m ), a double-pinned rock head that is particularly striking when seen from the north. In the northeast ridge there are two more peaks, Kassler Spitze ( 2952 m ) and Grüner Wand ( 2946 m ), at the latter the main ridge turns 90 degrees to the southeast and descends to the Keilbachjoch. The south ridge carries the Oberwasserer ( 2910 m ), the Hohe Wand ( 2649 m ), the Kopfkraxe ( 2376 m ), the Rislahner Turm ( 2139 m ) and the Kreuzkofel, which is also called Rauher Kopf ( 2147 m ).
Between the three ridges there are small glaciers: in the west the eastern part of the Frankbachkees, in the east the Keilbachkees and in the north the western Stillupkees. The Kasseler Hütte ( 2178 m ) is located three kilometers north of the Keilbachspitze .
Southeast of Keilbach tip and Keilbachkees stems from the Keilbach , who at stone house in the Ahr drained. The names of the stream, glacier and summit are derived from the Keilhöfe at the entrance to the Keilbach valley. The term 'wedge' is interpreted as an old nickname for a wood chopper .
Alpinism
The Keilbachspitze was climbed for the first time on August 13, 1875 by Carl and Joseph Daimer from Sand in Taufers , Theodor Harpprecht from Stuttgart with the guide Stephan Kirchler from Luttach . They ascended from the south through the Frankbachtal and reached the summit via the then much more extensive Frankbachkees and block area.
Today's normal route leads through the Frankbachtal, similar to the route of the first climbers. At the Frankbachalm, leave the road leading to the Vielegger Hütte and climb an indistinct path marked with cairns, first on the left, western side of the stream in the valley floor further north. At an altitude of about 2000 meters, when a rock bar blocks the way further down the valley floor, you ascend in a westerly direction through pastureland and mountain pines until you reach the western shoulder of the Frankbach valley. On this one turns in the direction of the Frankbachjoch, which one does not enter. Alternatively, you can also get here on the eastern side of the valley over partly steep scree and boulder slopes. About 150 meters below the Frankbachjoch you turn to the east to reach a rock ridge on today's southern edge of the Frankbachkees. This leads to easy block climbing ( II ) from the south-west to the summit. Ice equipment is only required in ideal conditions in midsummer.
The Keilbachspitze can also be climbed as part of a ski tour. The usual route roughly corresponds to the normal route in summer.
