The Great Wiesbachhorn is located in the state of Salzburg in Austria and is 3564 m above sea level. A. the second highest mountain range in the Glockner group . The completely free-standing firndome forms the main summit of the Fuscher / Kapruner Kamm and is often seen in alpine literature as a rival to the Grossglockner . The deep fall to the east and south-east has one of the greatest differences in altitude between valley and summit in the Eastern Alps, at over 2400 m . The first ascent of the northwest face on July 15, 1924 by Franz Riegele and Willo Welzenbach was of alpine importance . They used ice hooks for the first time to move on the so-called ice bulge , which were later developed into ice screws . The north-west face was one of the classic ice walls in the Eastern Alps; in the meantime, however, the ice has largely melted.
Location and surroundings
The Great Wiesbachhorn is almost completely surrounded by glaciers . In the north lies the Wielingerkees , in the northeast the Sandbodenkees flows east down into the sandy soil and further into the Fuscher Ache . In the south lies the Teufelsmühlkees and in the west the Kaindlkees . Significant adjacent mountains are in the north, separated by the at 3211 m preferred height sand-lip , the Small Wiesbachhorn with a height of 3283 m . In the southwest, beyond the Wielingerscharte at 3265 m high , between Kaindlkees and Teufelsmühlkees, lie the two viola heads ( 3413 m and 3401 m ). To the west the area falls down to the Mooserboden reservoir , to the east into the Fuscher valley . The nearest significant settlement is Fusch on Großglocknerstrasse, about 10 kilometers as the crow flies in a northerly direction .
Ascents
The original path of the Fuscher farmers at the end of the 18th century, rarely used today, led from Ferleiten to the Schwarzenberghütte in 3½ hours and from there in 4 hours past the Bratschenköpf to the summit of the Horn. Today's starting point for an ascent is the Heinrich-Schwaiger-Haus . From there the normal route leads over the Obere Fochezkopf and the Kaindlgrat to the summit in about 3 hours. In the middle part of the path there is a 35 ° inclined firn cutting edge, the rocky areas are UIAA I difficulty . The classic routes through the 500 meter high north-west face require climbing skills in the ice up to an incline of 60 °.
