Kristallwand, Alpine summit in Hohe Tauern, Austria.

Located in the Venediger Group, Kristallwand rises to 3,310 meters with steep rock faces and glaciers surrounding its northern side.

Albert Santner and Willi Trost established the original climbing route to the summit of Kristallwand in 1933, marking a milestone in Austrian alpinism.

The mountain, positioned within Hohe Tauern National Park, represents the traditional mountaineering heritage of the Eastern Alps region of Tyrol.

Climbers access Kristallwand through Matrei in Osttirol, proceeding to Venedigerhaus before reaching the Neue Prager Huette as their base camp.

The Wurzer brothers created a challenging mixed climbing route named Russisches Roulette in 2018, rated M6 in technical difficulty.
