Rote Wand, Mountain summit in Lechquellen Mountains, Austria.

The Rote Wand reaches an elevation of 2,704 meters and features a north face with a small glacier that forms the source of the Meng River.

The initial documented climb of Rote Wand occurred on September 12, 1867, when John Sholto Douglass and Otto Freiherr von Sternbach reached the summit together.

The mountain name translates to Red Wall, referring to the distinctive red-Lias limestone formations visible on the southern section of the mountain.

The ascent requires proper mountain equipment, including ankle-high boots, a helmet, and a backpack with supplies, while multiple routes lead to the summit.

The mountain stands as the second highest peak in the Lechquellen Mountains range, with Wildgrubenspitze surpassing it by 49 meters.
