The Ruderhofspitze is 3474 m above sea level. A. the fourth highest mountain in the Stubai Alps . It belongs to the Alpeiner Berge group and is located in the Austrian state of Tyrol . Due to its geographical dominance with a good panoramic view, it is one of the most climbed mountains in the Stubai. The mountain sends a nearly two-kilometer ridge called the Grawawand to the east . Less pronounced ridges of the Ruderhofspitze lead to the south and north-west. The top was first climbed on August 30, 1864 by Karl Baedeker junior , Anton von Ruthner and the mountain guides Pankraz Gleinser and Alois Tanzer.
Location and surroundings
The Ruderhofspitze is a good six kilometers as the crow flies west of Ranalt in the Stubaital and about ten kilometers east of Gries , a district of the municipality of Längenfeld in the Sulztal . The mountain is surrounded by glaciers all around . To the southeast lies below the Grawawand the Grawawandferner , south of the Ruderhofferner , west of the vast Alpeiner Glacier and the North eventually ranging Hochmoos addition to just below the summit cross of Ruderhofspitze. Neighboring mountains are in the north, separated by the Hochmoosscharte at 3231 meters , the Westliche Seespitze at 3355 meters and in the course of the Grawawand, separated by the Grawagrubennieder crossing (2880 m), the Nockwand at 3091 m. To the south, down to the Mutterbergalm in the Stubai Valley, there are no peaks. In the west, separated by the Alpeiner Ferner, the most powerful mountain in the group is dominated by the 3,496 meter high cabinet bird .
Bases and paths
The path of the first to climb in 1864 led from the Oberiss-Alm in the Oberbergtal to the Alpeiner Ferner. Since the cabinet bird seemed too difficult, the Ruderhofspitze was chosen as the destination of the tour. After over eight hours they reached the summit. Today's normal route , the easiest ascent, leads in a large arc over the Alpeiner Ferner as an alpine tour to the Ruderhofspitze and should only be climbed with appropriate equipment and knowledge. The Franz-Senn-Hütte in the northeast at an altitude of 2147 meters serves as a base for this route . From the hut the tour leads in a south-westerly direction along the Alpeiner Bach to the Alpeiner Ferner and over the crevice-rich glacier first to the south, then to the east into the glacier bay below the Ruderhofspitze. From here there are two ways to reach the firn field on the south side below the summit: Either through the steep WSW flank along fixed ropes (possibly bergschrund , risk of falling rocks ) or a little further, but easier over the long SSW ridge from the upper Hölltalscharte . Over the firn field on the south side, the route leads to the rocky summit structure and finally with easy climbing to the highest point. The ascent from the Neue Regensburger Hütte via the Grawagrubennieder and Grawawandferner is about an hour shorter, but not easier . Other routes to the Ruderhofspitze lead from the Mutterbergalm and from the Dresdner Hütte (as a six-hour ice tour) to the Ruderhofspitze.
