The Seekarlspitze is 2261 m above sea level. A. the second highest peak in the Rofan , a subgroup of the Brandenberg Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol . The tip is named after the small Seekarlsee , located at an altitude of 2100 meters to the south . The horn-shaped peak is part of the east-west running Rofan main ridge. The north side of the Seekarlspitze consists of a massive, almost vertical wall up to 400 meters high, which offers climbers attractive routes in the upper difficulties. The south side is made accessible by numerous hiking trails for hiking tourism; a via ferrata leads through the east side .
Surroundings
The Seekarlspitze is located in the south-western area of the Rofan and forms the second highest point of the main ridge that runs west-east here. Adjacent mountains are in the course of the west ridge, separated by the Seekarlscharte at about 2000 m, the 2236 meter high Spieljoch , in the southeast the Roßkopf with 2246 meters and, further to the east, separated by the Grubascharte (2103 m), the 2259 meter high Rofanspitze . To the north the area falls down to the Ampmoosalm (1784 m) and to the southwest to the Achensee . The closest town is Maurach am Achensee in the south, about 4 kilometers as the crow flies ; Steinberg am Rofan is a good 6 km to the north .

Tourist development
Since the area was populated early due to its fertile soil and the mountains are easy to climb from the south, there are no records of first ascents. A dense network of hiking trails leads through the Rofan Mountains and the Seekarlspitze is easy to reach from the Erfurter Hütte , at 1,831 meters north above Maurach. The normal route (easiest ascent) leads north up to the Spieljoch with some rope insurance, then partly over steep grass to the Seekarlspitzen summit. Since 2010, a section performs the Achensee 5-Summit climbing route in Grade B / C through the eastern flank, partly through the north wall of the Seekarlspitze.
Climb
There are challenging climbing routes, similar to the Hochiss, in the almost 400 meter high north face. In 1909 alpine climbing began on the Seekarlspitze with the Nieberl-Klammer- Führe in today's difficulty level UIAA IV + . In 1923, Hans Fiechtl and E. Schmid opened two routes, the so-called funnel path with difficulty level UIAA V and the path over the Ypsilon with UIAA grade VI +, or technically climbed , VI- / A1. Further guides up to difficulty UIAA VII + have been added since the 1930s. The climbing development came to an end with the route No risk, no fun (UIAA VIII-) opened in 2000 by R. Moser and G. Gapp.
