Großer Wilder, Mountain summit in Allgäu Alps, Germany
Großer Wilder is a triple-peaked mountain in the Allgäu Alps with the main summit reaching 2379 meters (7805 feet). The mountain is known for its jagged rock formations and narrow ridges that define its distinctive alpine appearance.
The North Ridge was first successfully climbed in 1869, marking an important early mountaineering achievement in the Allgäu Alps. This ascent opened the route to further exploration of the mountain's various climbing paths.
The mountain attracts skilled mountaineers who tackle its brittle rock structure through various climbing routes, particularly along the north ridge to the summit.
Climbing this summit requires technical skills and experience with exposed ridge work. Weather conditions can change rapidly at this elevation, so proper preparation and timing are important for safety.
The western face drops dramatically into the Wildenfeld valley with massive vertical rock walls. This steep terrain is particularly demanding and attracts climbers seeking a greater challenge than standard routes.
