The Sonklarspitze , also called Sonklarspitz , is 3463 m above sea level. A. high mountain in the main ridge of the Stubai Alps . It lies exactly on the state border between the Austrian state of Tyrol and the autonomous Italian province of South Tyrol . The mountain was named after the kk military geographer and surveyor Carl Albrecht Sonklar von Innstädten . The summit is a wide, snow-covered knoll that sends a pronounced north ridge to the north, towards Wilder Pfaff . The summit is covered by a firn field .
Location and surroundings
The mountain is about seven kilometers as the crow flies northeast of the Timmelsjoch , 14 km west of Inner Pflersch in the Pflerschtal (Italian: Val di Fleres ) and 10 km southwest of Ranalt in the Stubai Valley . To the east of the Sonklarspitze lies the Übeltalferner , which reaches up to an altitude of 3300 meters, to the west the Triebenkarlesferner lies at an altitude of up to 3400 meters. Neighboring mountains are in the course of the north ridge , separated by the Sonklarscharte located at 3298 meters above sea level , the 3456 meter high Wilde Pfaff and in the course of the firn-covered south ridge the Hohe Eis ( 3392 m ). A good kilometer as the crow flies in a north-westerly direction, separated by the Triebenkarlesferner, is the Zuckerhütl , at 3505 meters the highest mountain in the Stubai Alps.
geology
The area around the Sonklarspitze was unfolded in a loop tectonics and consists in the summit corridors of not particularly erosion-resistant slate gneisses , which form an extremely brittle rock with a pronounced risk of falling rocks . The subsoil of the Sonklarspitze, on the other hand, is formed by very hard, amphibolite- rich biotite gneisses .
Bases and routes
The route of the first climbers on August 5, 1869 led Richard Gutberlet and his companions from the Sulzenaualpe to the north, near today's Sulzenauhütte , over the Sulzenauferner up to the connecting ridge Wilder Pfaff-Sonklarspitze and over the north ridge to the summit. It took about six hours from the Sulzenaualpe. The normal route to the Sonklarspitze today leads from the Übeltalferner in easy climbing of the UIAA II difficulty level over the east ridge to the summit. The north ridge, mentioned in older literature as the normal route, is only very rarely climbed today due to its increasing fragility. In addition, due to the melting of the glacier, the Sonklarscharte can no longer be reached directly from the Übeltalferner. Either the Müllerhütte ( Refugio Cima Libera ) at 3143 meters above sea level or the Becherhaus ( Rif. Gino Biasi alla Pinta del Bicchiere ) at 3190 meters serve as a base today . The route over the glacier is an alpine tour that requires appropriate equipment and knowledge. Further tours are also possible as crossing from the Siegerlandhütte (2710 m) to the south .
