Praxmarerkarspitzen, Mountain summit in Scharnitz, Austria.
The Praxmarerkarspitzen peaks rise to 2642 meters in the Karwendel mountain range, featuring steep cliffs on the northern side toward Hinterautal valley.
Hermann von Barth completed the first ascent of Praxmarerkarspitzen on July 31, 1870, marking a significant milestone in Alpine mountaineering history.
The north wall, known as Melzerwand, received its name after Otto Melzer, who perished during an attempted first ascent in October 1901.
The ascent from Scharnitz requires approximately six hours of hiking and climbing, covering 2100 meters of elevation gain through Gleirschtal and Möslalm.
The mountain contains two main peaks, with the Western summit at 2642 meters and the Eastern summit at 2638 meters, connected by a 15-minute traverse.
