Untere Wildgrubenspitze, Mountain summit in Lechquellengebirge, Austria.
Untere Wildgrubenspitze is a mountain peak in the Lechquellen Mountains, characterized by steep limestone walls and rocky ridges that rise above surrounding terrain. The peak sits within a range of high Alpine valleys, with a base accessible through nearby huts and interconnected trails.
The first recorded ascent took place in 1877 when Andreas Madlener established a route through the rocky terrain. This early climb marked the beginning of mountaineering activity on this peak.
The mountain forms part of Vorarlberg's natural heritage, featuring protected alpine flora and traditional mountain climbing routes used by local communities.
The climbing route starts from a nearby mountain hut and follows marked paths across the open Alpine slopes and rock sections. Wire cables are installed at steep passages to aid climbers, and sturdy boots plus mountaineering experience are needed for safe passage.
The mountain's rocks date back to the Carnian and Norian periods, forming the pale limestone walls and distinctive formations visible along the southwestern ridge. This ancient geological structure creates the dramatic rock features that define the peak's appearance.
