Laliderer Falk, Mountain summit in Karwendel range, Tyrol, Austria.
Laliderer Falk is a mountain summit in the Karwendel range reaching 2,427 meters (7,962 feet) in elevation. The peak features steep limestone cliffs and exposed rocky sections that define the character of climbing routes here.
Hermann von Barth, a pioneer of exploration in the Karwendel, made the first confirmed ascent on 30 June 1870, climbing via the Steinfalk and descending through the Blausteigkar. Earlier visits by edelweiss collectors are considered possible but are not documented.
The peak is the highest summit of the Falkengruppe, a subgroup of the Karwendel. Its name links it to the Falkenkar cirque below, the basin used by the easiest route, and to the neighbouring Steinfalk, over which Hermann von Barth descended in 1870. Climbers still orient themselves by the few cairns (Steinmänner) on the slopes.
Climbers need good navigation skills and proper equipment since the main route lacks clear trail markings in many places. Steep sections require experience with rock climbing and careful foot placement.
