The Kleinvenediger is 3468  m above sea level. A. high, heavily glaciated mountain peak in the center of the Venediger group . It is separated from the neighboring Großvenediger by the Venice Scharte ( 3387  m ). Nothing is known about its first ascent, as it was probably climbed as part of some earlier Großvenediger tours, as first explicitly described by Archduke Rainer of Austria , Count Heinrich Wurmbrand and their guides on September 14, 1863.

topography

The Kleinvenediger has a high glacier roof with a sloping firn surface that slopes gently towards the Upper Keesboden. The Kleinvenediger is bounded in the northeast by the Vilhabenkees, in the southeast by the Schlatenkees or its upper Kessboden and in the west by the Ober- and Untersulzbachkees. The Kleinvenediger drops steeply to the northwest to the so-called Venediger-Nordmulde, with the north ridge forming a long connection to the Untersulzbachtörl. The massive north face, on the other hand, slopes down to Vilhabenkees. The north-east ridge ends in the Schlatenkeeskopf ( 3147  m ), with the north-east ridge also sloping down to the Vilhabenkees.

Increase opportunities

The normal ascent on the Kleinvenediger ( level of difficulty I ) is from the south and leads from the Venice Scharte over a ridge of snow at around 10 ° to the moderately inclined snow summit. Although the ascent only takes around half an hour from the Venice Scharte, the Kleinvenediger is seldom used due to its proximity to the Großvenediger. Further access options can be found, for example, via the east ascent from the Schlatenkees firn bottom ( 3195  m ) in the north curve to the summit ( difficulty level I ) or from Untersulzbachtörl over the north ridge (first walked on August 15, 1889 by an unknown person with J. Ensmann, level of difficulty II ) .
