The Jägerkar peaks are three closely adjacent peaks in the Gleirsch-Halltal chain in the Karwendel . The northern Jägerkarspitze is 2596 m above sea level. A. high, the southern 2579 m above sea level. A. and the middle Jägerkarspitze is 2608 m above sea level. A. the highest of the peaks. To the west, east, south-west and south-east, the tips emit pronounced ridges. The ridge running from the Middle Jägerkarspitze to the southwest to the Großer Katzenkopf ( 2531 m above sea level ) is named after the German mountaineer Hermann von Barth , who was the first to climb the Northern Jägerkarspitze.
Location and surroundings
At the Jägerkarspitzen the branches Jägerkarkamm at right angles from the Gleirschkette from south to located on the southern tip of the Barthgrat southwest and the southeast ridge to fork. To the east of the peaks lies the extensive Jägerkar , to the south the Kar In den Flecken and to the west the Gleirscher Riegelkar . In a 700 meter high wall, the ridge drops north into the Hinterau valley with the Isar . Neighboring mountains in the western course of the Gleirsch-Halltal chain are the Innere ( 2438 m above sea level ) and the Äußere Riegelkarspitze ( 2407 m above sea level ) as well as the Hohe Gleirsch . In the eastern course of the ridge are the Hinterödkopf ( 2453 m above sea level ) and further south-east the Jägerkarlspitze ( 2470 m above sea level ). The southeast ridge runs out into the Samertal , the southwest ridge carries the small and the large Katzenkopf ( 2531 m above sea level ). About 10 km away is Scharnitz in the northwest .
Development and history of ascent
The documented first climber v. Enzensberg, v. Hörmann, Pfaundler and v. Trentinaglia were Innsbruck students who explored the area in 1859. Count Enzensberg gathered knowledge about the fauna, Trentinaglia made geognostic observations, Hörmann made drawings of height profiles and panoramas and Pfaundler made hypsometric measurements. With his ascent of July 30, 1870, Hermann von Barth is considered to be the founder of the touristic development of the mountain group, because his route over the later so-called Barthgrat was repeated in the 1880s by August von Böhm and Carl Diener. Today, however, the Jägerkar peaks are rarely visited, and the rock on the walls and ridges is too brittle for climbers.
Today's normal route to the southern Jägerkarspitze leads via Schrofen from the south through the Kar In den Flecken in a four-hour walk from the Möslalm ( 1262 m above sea level ) located southwest in the Gleirschtal . In the summit area of the Middle Jägerkarspitze, climbing skills in UIAA difficulty level II are required. The ascent here runs from the Amtssäge ( 1223 m above sea level ) over the Gleirscher Riegelkar to the west in about four hours of walking. The summit of the northern Jägerkarspitze can also be reached in UIAA grade II, in extremely fragile rock. A serious climb in the exposed UIAA grade III is the ascent of the Barthgrat up to the middle Jägerkarspitze. H. v. Barth got into serious difficulties here during his inspection in 1870 and said that he had neither wished for an improvement nor found any more . He had to move around by hand , with his feet hanging freely in the air .
As the mountain is so rarely climbed, the summit book attached to the Mittlerer Jägerkarspitze in 1913 was in use until 2003 and not yet fully written. The book, which is considered to be one of the oldest preserved summit books in the region, has been restored and is now kept at the Innsbruck Alpine Club.
