Großer Geiger, Alpine summit in Prägraten am Großvenediger, Austria.
The Großer Geiger reaches an elevation of 3,360 meters, forming a prominent pyramid-shaped peak within the Venediger Group of the Austrian Alps.
Mountain guides Michael Groder and Richard Issler completed the first documented ascent of Großer Geiger from Johannis Hut on August 20, 1871.
The mountain received its current name from cartographer Franz Keil in 1855, replacing its previous designations Obersulzbacher Venediger and Heiliggeistkogel.
Climbers can access the summit through routes starting at either the Essener-Rostocker Hut or Kürsinger Hut, following established paths to the western ridge.
The mountain stands at the intersection of three substantial glaciers: Obersulzbachkees, Dorferkees, and Maurerkees, creating a complex alpine environment.
