The Parstleswand (also Portleswand , 3096 m above sea level ) is a summit in the Ötztal Alps in Tyrol . It rises in the ridge that extends eastwards from the Verpeilspitze and separates the Loobach valley from the Plangeross valley, both of the western side valleys of the Pitztal . The appearance of the mountain is very different depending on the perspective: From the Kaunergrathütte in the southwest, the summit with its Schrofen flank is very inconspicuous. Seen from the east, especially from the Mittelberglessee , the summit is very noticeable with its steep north flank and steals the view from the significantly higher Verpeilspitze. The main summit is connected to the secondary summit ( 3085 m above sea level ), which is about 400 meters to the east, by a ridge that has only a few height differences and is sometimes quite narrow and exposed.
Climbs
The easiest ascent leads from the Kaunergrathütte to the east on a marked hiking trail to the Steinbockjoch. In early summer, however, crossing snowfields here may require ice equipment. From the yoke one climbs on the broad ridge north in the direction of the western main summit, there are some trails, there are several ascent variants. The summit can be reached in an hour from the Kaunergrathütte.
In particular from the north there are other rather difficult climbs. The approximately 300 meter high north face shows climbing difficulties of the IV . Grads up, from the start it takes 3 hours. The north face was first climbed in 1930 by W. Maresch and J. Egner.
