Schlieferspitze

Schlieferspitze, Mountain summit in Venediger Group, Austria.

Schlieferspitze is a 3,290 m (AA) summit, the highest point of the Krimmler Kamm ridge in the Venediger Group, in the High Tauern of Salzburg. Four even arêtes, each about two kilometres long, run from the top to the northwest, northeast, southeast and southwest; the southwest one is the Rinderwand, dropping to the Krimmler Achental. Glaciers reach above 3,100 m on the north, east and west sides: the Hinterjaidbachkees, Östliche Sonntagkees and Westliche Jaidbachkees.

Eduard Richter, a geography professor from Graz University, reached the summit with mountaineer Johann Stüdl in August 1871. This first ascent marked an important moment in the climbing history of the Venediger Group during the 19th century.

The peak's name comes from the Schliefertürme, the two rock towers on its southeast arête, 1.5 km from the summit. The Krimmler Kamm ridge marks the border between Salzburg and East Tyrol; the nearest villages are Krimml, about 12 km north-northwest, and Ströden in the Virgental, about 13 km southeast.

The climb starts from Warnsdorfer Hut at 2,336 meters (7,664 feet) and follows a steep route graded UIAA II-. Good footwear and solid alpine skills are essential for managing the technical sections along this route.

The first winter ascent was made on 17 April 1908 by a group of skiers led by F. Müller. The 1871 first climbers, Eduard Richter and Johann Stüdl, took 7½ hours from the Johannishütte and climbed Prägraten am Großvenediger the same day.
