The Ilfenspitzen are a mountain with double peaks in the Hornbach range of the Allgäu Alps . The main peak is the 2552 meter high Nördliche Ilfenspitze , the second summit is the Südliche Ilfenspitze (2535 m).

Location and surroundings

The Ilfenspitzen are in the Austrian state of Tyrol . The border between the municipal areas of Elbigenalp in the south and Hinterhornbach in the north runs over the summit .

The mountain rises in the Hornbach chain, which is bordered to the south by the Lech valley and to the north by the Hornbach valley . The western ridge of the northern summit is connected to the Marchspitze (2609 m) via the Marchscharte (2416 m) , the reference point for the height of the notch , which is 136 meters. The knobbed tip also serves as a reference for dominance , it is 1.0 kilometers. Between the two peaks there is a dividing notch that causes a height difference of 105 meters, which is the notch height of the south summit. Its dominance is 0.2 kilometers.

A ridge runs from the Ilfenspitzen to the south, separating the Birgerkar in the west and Wolfebnerkar in the east. To the north down into the Hornbachtal is the Ilfenkar . There are also small, unnamed glaciers on the northern flank .

geology

The Ilfenspitzen are made of the brittle main dolomite . This is stored on a base made of Lias marl .

Origin of name

The name of the mountain is likely to have come from the Hornbachtal, since the Ilfenkar is also located here. However, the origin of the name is unclear. A Vflein is mentioned in the hunting book of Emperor Maximilian around 1500 .

Development history

The northern summit was first climbed by Chr. Wolff in 1892. However, a previous ascent by locals cannot be ruled out. The first ascent of the south summit took place in 1900 over the south ridge by von Cube with companions, as did the west ridge to the north summit. In 1901 he climbed the west face of the south summit with his companion Sauer. G. Leuchs and Gmünd first climbed the northern ridge of the northern summit in 1909. The southeast face of the south summit was climbed through in 1920 by Kadner and his companions.

Ascent

Normal way

The base for the unmarked ascent of the Ilfenspitzen is the Hermann von Barth Hut (2129 m). From here, path 432 leads west into the Birgerkar, where the Düsseldorfer Weg branches off to the Marchscharte. From this the path to the peaks leads off on path tracks. The north summit is reached via Schrofen of difficulty I.

The southern summit can be climbed via the southern ridge in the II degree . Here the path leads through the Wolfebnerkar to the south ridge and on this up to the summit.

Climb

There are also some climbing routes at the Ilfenspitzen . In the III. Degrees moves the southeast intersection of the south summit. The east ridge of the south summit has just under IV degree. For the north and south-east face of the south summit, grade IV or IV + must be climbed.
