Klimmspitze with Wasserfallkarspitze and Urbeleskarspitze

The Klimmspitze is a 2464 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Allgäu Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol .

Location and surroundings

The mountain in the Hornbachkette subgroup represents the easternmost summit of this mountain range. The flanks of the Klimmspitze slope down to the south and east into the Lech Valley , and to the north into the Hornbach Valley . In the west there is a ridge connection to the Schwellenspitze (2496 m), which is subordinate to the Wasserfallkarspitze (2557 m). The notch between the Klimm- and Schwellespitze is the reference point for the notch height of the Klimmspitze. The Austrian map gives a minimum value of 204 meters as the height of the gap, and the Allgäuer-Lechtaler Alpen - Ost map shows a value of 186 meters.

The district on which the Klimmspitze is located is Elmen , which is on the southeast flank of the mountain, on the opposite side of the Lech.

Origin of name

The Klimmspitze was first mentioned in 1751 as in / by Klimer Spiz . The mountain was named after the small town of Klimm, a little southwest of Elmen. It was mentioned in documents as early as 1312 as Climme and 1318 as Klimme . As the origin of the name, the Middle High German word "klimmen" comes into question, which can mean "to pinch together". This would describe the narrow location of the place between the southeast flank of the Klimmspitze and the Lech.

Ascent history

Hermann von Barth provided the first report of an ascent for the year 1869, but an ascent by locals before him is conceivable. In 1894 Chr. Wolff relegated to the threshold kar. An inspection of the east and west ridge was carried out in 1913 by J. Färber and W. Klaunig. The north face was climbed by Bachschmid and Hans Wüstendorfer in 1925 .

Ascent

The normal route to the Klimmspitze is a marked trail that begins in Klimm and leads first over the southeast flank and then west into the Großkar. The summit is reached via the rocky southwest flank. This are surefootedness and head for heights needed.

On the north side, a path-free ascent from Hinterhornbach through the threshold cirque is possible, here you have to climb in the second degree . The west ridge has the same difficulty, whereas the east ridge is rated III +. The key point on the north face is an IV +.

In snowy winters, the Klimmspitze can also be climbed as part of a ski tour , which is largely based on the normal route.
