Wilde Leck, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria

Wilde Leck is a granite-formed summit in the Stubai Alps standing around 3359 meters high, featuring sharp rock ridges that shape the mountain's profile. The peak is part of a group of prominent summits in this Alpine chain.

The sources record no first-ascent date or climber for the Wilde Leck; the mountain appears in the Alpine Club Guide to the Stubai Alps by Heinrich and Walter Klier (Rother, Munich, 1988). Its easiest route crosses the Sulztalferner glacier before climbing rock of UIAA grade III, and the South Face route is no longer passable after a rockfall.

The peak draws experienced mountaineers who engage in technical rock climbing as part of the broader Alpine climbing tradition in this region. Visitors to the area connect with a long-standing culture of mountain exploration in the Stubai range.

The ascent requires glacier experience and solid rock climbing skills, making proper training and equipment essential for safety. The best climbing season is late spring through early autumn when weather conditions are more favorable.

The Zahme Leck (3,226 m), whose name means "Tame Leck", stands just north of the Wilde Leck. The two names play on the contrast between the demanding Wilde Leck and its gentler neighbour, and the pair is often seen together from the Ötztal side.
