The Riepenwand is a 2774 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the Stubai Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol . It is particularly important for climbing.
topography
The Riepenwand lies in the Kalkkögel group between the Schlicker Seespitze in the south and the Großer Ochsenwand in the northeast. In the east, the Riepenwand slopes down towards the Schlick with steep rock faces . To protect the Schlick 2000 ski area below, an avalanche detonation system is installed near the summit . In the west, towards the Senderstal , the mountain is largely characterized by vertical walls.
geology
Like the other mountains of the Kalkkögel, the Riepenwand also consists of dolomite rocks from the Triassic . It is extremely fragile rock. On May 6, 2011 , for example, a large rock fall occurred on the north face of the Riepenwand , in which around 1000 m³ of rock broke off. A month and a half later there was another rock fall there.
Alpinism
There is no easy path to the Riepenwand. The normal route leads from the Adolf-Pichler-Hütte in the Senderstal to the Riepenscharte ( 2550 m ) between the Riepenwand and the Ochsenwand and from there, with difficulty level I, in extremely brittle terrain through the northeast flank to the summit. This ascent is also the path of the first ascent Karl Gsaller (1883, single-handedly). Another route from the Riepenscharte over the north ridge has the difficulty level II-III. However, these paths are rarely used and mostly only serve as a descent route for the more important climbing routes on the mountain. The Netzerweg (north-west face , IV-V), opened in 1914 , is one of the most popular classic climbing routes in the Stubai Alps and is particularly known for its difficult and exposed traverse ("Fliegerbandl"). Well-known climbers such as Matthias Auckenthaler , Matthias Rebitsch , Reinhard Schiestl and Andreas Orgler opened up with the "Direct Northwest Face" (VI), the " King Crimson Memorial Guide" (VI-), "Super Crimson" (VI), "Straight Northwest Face" "(VI)," Riepenpfeiler "(VII A3)," Westverschneendung "(VI) and many more difficult climbs from the transmitter valley. From the Seespitzscharte, the notch between Riepenwand and Schlicker Seespitze, two routes of difficulty II lead to the summit, on the east and south-east side there are routes between III. and V. degree.
