Surname
According to Pohl , the name allows two etymological interpretations: either one regards Petz- as Slavic, in Slovene peč , German borrowed Pötsche 'rock' or 'cave', corresponding to ' oven '; or as Romansh analogous to many mountain names Piz in western Austria, South Tyrol and Switzerland. Romansh or Ladin means piz “top” (from Romansh pīts - unclear origin). Pohl considers the Romanesque origin to be more likely, because it is a prominent mountain, extended by the German corner for 'protruding elevation'. However, Slavic names are quite common in the Schober group.
The Petzeck will Wangenitztal also Posseg or Pesek called in Gradental Spatzeck .
Location and surroundings
The Petzeck is the highest point of the side ridge that runs from west to east and branches off at the Hohen Perschitzkopf ( 3125 m above sea level ) from the main ridge above the Debant valley with the Lienzer hut . The side ridge separates the Gradental in the north with the Adolf-Noßberger-Hütte from the Wangenitztal with the Wangenitzseehütte ( ÖAV ) in the south and carries the Kruckelkopf ( 3181 m ), the Petzeck, the Georgskopf ( 3090 m ), as well as the Hohen Perschitzkopf the large ( 3134 m ) and small Friedrichskopf ( 3059 m ). The Petzeck is an imposing mountain on all sides between the Petzeckscharte ( 3034 m above sea level ) in the west and the Georgsscharte ( 2886 m above sea level ) in the east, both gaps are hardly used as crossings due to their difficulty. In the west lies the Gradenkees and on the eastern flank the Prititschkees.
The northeast face is the largest and most powerful face in the Schober group. It rises up to 850 m above the Gradental.
Tourist development
Chamois hunters climbed the Petzeck very early on. An ascent from the Wangenitztal by the Sagritz chaplain Franz Graf in the company of a Mörtschach farmer is documented for the year 1844, ten years later the summit was visited as part of the Austrian land survey . As the first known tourist, Carl Gussenbauer reached the summit on August 5, 1870 with the chamois hunter Johann Weichslederer and published a detailed description in the magazine of the German and Austrian Alpine Club 1870–71.
In 1880, at the instigation of the ÖTK, a path was laid on the Petzeck. The first ski ascent was made in 1931 by H. Slezak, H. Chladek and H. Novak from the Adolf-Noßberger-Hütte over the Petzeckscharte.
Climbs
The normal ascent leads from the Wangenitzseehütte to the north through the Kruckelkar towards the Petzeckscharte and before reaching the notch over boulders, rubble and firn to the summit. The ascent is not difficult in good conditions .
