The whorl is a 3251 m above sea level. A. high mountain peaks of the Maurerkamm in the Venediger group in East Tyrol ( Austria ). It is located in the municipality of Prägraten am Großvenediger . Neighboring peaks are the Quirlwand in the east, the Ogasilspitze in the southeast, the Steingrubenkogel in the west and the southern Malhamspitze in the northwest.
location
The Quirl is a steep double peak in the decaying, southern masonry ridge. It is located to the south of the southern Malhamkees (Böses Wandkees), which, together with the Quirlwand ( 2906 m above sea level ) to the east, is bounded by its firny northern flank in the south. The stone pit on the west side of the Quirl between Steingrube and Hohe Grube no longer exists. The south-west ridge and the south-east ridge of the Quirl drop off steeply to the Hohe Grube, with the south-east ridge leading to the Ogasilspitze ( 3,032 m above sea level ), from which the Quirl is separated by the Quirlsattel ( 2917 m above sea level ). To the northwest, the Quirl radiates the northwest ridge to the Steingrubenscharte ( 3085 m above sea level ), which separates the Quirl from the Malhamhorn ( 3168 m above sea level ). To the west of the Quirl is the Steingrubenkogel ( 3228 m above sea level ) and behind and to the south the Umbal Valley . To the east of the Quirlwand is the Maurertal .
History and career opportunities
The Quirl was first climbed for tourism on July 19, 1887 by the Berlin alpinists Carl Benzien and Hermann Meynow with the guide Hans Hörhager, using the southwest ridge and descending via the northwest ridge. On July 15, 1905, Ingenuin Hechenblaikner and Eduard Franzelin made the ascent over the northwest ridge for the first time. Artur Langbein and Oskar Stroß climbed the west face and the south-west ridge for the first time on August 6, 1904, and the two of them also used the south face for the first time in their descent. Hubert Peterka and Hans Majer climbed the north face on July 9, 1926.
The normal route to the Quirl leads from the Clarahütte first out of the Umbaltal valley to the Reggenbach waterfall after the Ochsnerhüttl and then on the right side of the stream over grassy slopes without a path to the Hohe Grube with its mountain lakes. From here you climb to the Steingrubenscharte and then over the northwest ridge ( II ) to the summit, avoiding a yellow ridge and climbing on loose debris to the right (or more difficult, left). Then, just below the summit, you briefly change to the north side and then reach the west summit without difficulty over rocks and scree. The transition to the east summit is also not difficult. In addition to the north-west ridge, the north face can also be used for the ascent, whereby the ascent from Böse Wandkees takes place on the left against a glaciated rock step in the glacier ( II ).
