Hochkarspitze, Mountain summit in Karwendel range, Germany and Austria
The Hochkarspitze reaches an elevation of 2481.9 meters, making it a notable peak in the Karwendel range between Bavaria and Tyrol regions.
Otto Friedrich completed the initial traverse of the southern ridge in 1907, establishing a route through extremely fragile sections of the mountain.
The mountain stands as a testament to German-Austrian alpine traditions, connecting the communities of Mittenwald and Scharnitz across national borders.
Mountain climbers must prepare for a 10-kilometer approach from Scharnitz before reaching the main basin area leading to climbing routes.
The rock composition presents specific technical requirements, as climbers need to carefully test holds due to numerous loose stones.
