The Schlüsselspitze ( 2778 m above sea level ) is an insignificant mountain peak of the Dorferkamm in the Venediger group in East Tyrol ( Austria ). It is located in the north of the municipality of Prägraten am Großvenediger . Neighboring peaks are the Niklaskogel in the north and the Göriacher Almkopf in the south.
location
The key tip is a steep elevation at the end of the Dorferkamm. It drops steeply in the west to the Maurer valley with the Mauer Bach and in the east to the Hinterbichler Dorfertal with the Dorfer Bach. The Schlüsselspitze has a much more alpine character than the Niklaskopf ( 2780 m above sea level ) to the north , from which the Schlüsselspitze is separated by the Schlüsselscharte ( 2591 m above sea level ). In the south, the Göriacher Almkopf ( 2434 m above sea level ) forms an insignificant grass knoll, the next elevation before the Finsterwitzkopf ( 2254 m above sea level ), which marks the end of the Dorferkamm.
Promotion opportunities
The ascent to the Schlüsselspitze was first made on January 9, 1913 by E. Hoferer and E. Trautmann from the Essen-Rostocker Hütte . The first step was to descend on the marked path to the Ochsnerhütte ( 1950 m above sea level ) and then to cross the eastern flank of the valley into a hollow. The further ascent took place over large, overgrown blocks, initially on a short sheep trail. After 60 meters up steeply over the grass slope, the first climbers followed a crossing to the right until the Kammsattel ( 2586 m above sea level ) was reached. Then they climbed the steep, brittle south ridge, some towers had to be bypassed to the west ( II ). The western flank offers an alternative route. To do this, the ascent from the Ochsnerhütte leads up steep slopes to the base of the wall and to a block rib, the final ascent running over the block rib and finally a snow channel. The north ridge was again climbed by Klaus Hoi and Gef. In May 1973. Furthermore, the key peak can also be approached by crossing the ridge from the Niklaskogel.
