Hochfrottspitze, Alpine summit at Allgäu Alps, Germany and Austria.
The Hochfrottspitze reaches an elevation of 2,649 meters, featuring steep cliffs of dolomite rock and a ridge that marks the border between Germany and Austria.
Hermann von Barth completed the first recorded ascent of Hochfrottspitze in 1869, establishing initial climbing routes through the mountain's challenging terrain.
