Vollkarspitze

The Vollkarspitze is a 2618 m high peak in the Wetterstein Mountains . It lies in the ridge that connects the Zugspitze with the Hochblassen and separates the Höllental from the Reintal . It is almost exclusively celebrated as part of the anniversary ridge.

The Vollkarspitze was previously two-peaks. The north summit (2630 m) broke off in two rockfalls, in winter 2000/2001 and in autumn 2001, and fell into the Matheisenkar. This also interrupted the insured climb that had led over both peaks. Since then, the normal route has been running over the Jubiläumsgrat through the steep, partially slightly overhanging western flank of the remaining Vollkarspitze; this ascent (in the usual ascent direction WO) is rated with via ferrata difficulty D and thus a key point on the anniversary ridge .
