Roßkopf, Mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria

Roßkopf is a multi-summit mountain in the Rofan range of the Brandenberg Alps in Tyrol. Its north summit reaches 2,257 m and its south summit 2,246 m, joined by a very narrow ridge; a northeast summit (2,220 m) and an east summit (2,200 m) also exist. The western side is partly grassy, while the north, east and south faces are craggy rock walls up to 300 m high.

Climbing on the Roßkopf summits began in 1899, when Georg Leuchs, G. Heilmann and J. Schön climbed the West Face of the South Summit at today's UIAA grade II. In 1909 Josef, A. and Josefine Nieberl climbed grade III on the northeast flank of the Northeast Summit, and in 1926 E. Schmid and S. Moser opened a grade VI- (technically A2) route through the North Face. New routes followed into the 1980s, reaching UIAA VIII-.

The Roßkopf's climbing history began in 1899, when Georg Leuchs, G. Heilmann and J. Schön climbed the south summit's west face at today's UIAA grade II. Since 2010 a section of the Achensee 5-Gipfel-Klettersteig runs along the Alter Weg route at grade C/D, and the west ridge was developed into a via ferrata of grade B.

The mountain can be reached using the Rofan cable car departing from Maurach am Achensee, which significantly shortens the overall climb. This option reduces the elevation gain considerably, making it accessible to visitors with varying fitness levels.

The first recorded climb on the Roßkopf faces was in 1899, when Georg Leuchs, G. Heilmann and J. Schön went through the craggy west wall of the south summit at today's UIAA grade II. By the 1980s new routes reached grade VIII-, and the latest is Der Name der Rose by Hannes Salvenmoser and O. Oelze through the north wall.
