Fußstein

The Fussstein mountain rises to an elevation of 3,380 meters in the Zillertal Alps, featuring steep granite slopes and multiple climbing routes.

Hermann Buhl completed the first recorded winter ascent of Fussstein in 1943, establishing a significant milestone in Austrian mountaineering history.

The mountain stands at the intersection of three Tyrolean communities: Schmirn, Finkenberg, and Vals, each maintaining their distinct Alpine traditions.

Climbers accessing the North Ridge route require specific equipment including 3-5 medium-sized stoppers and Camalots sized 0.75 to 1 for secure progression.

The North Ridge route extends across 450 meters through 12 climbing pitches, with a maximum slope grade of 40 degrees and D+ difficulty rating.
