Wildkarspitze, Mountain summit in Zillertal Alps, Austria.

The Wildkarspitze is a 3,073 m mountain in the Zillertal Alps, on the territory of Krimml in the Pinzgau, Salzburg. It is the highest summit of the Gerloskamm, the north-south ridge forming the eastern boundary of the range, with the Wildgerlostal to the west and the Krimmler Achental to the east. Its western flank is rocky, while the north and east sides are heavily glaciated.

The first recorded ascent took place in 1892 when Karl Povinelli and Franz Hofer reached the summit, then known as Wildkarkopf. The peak later gained its current name as climbing activity increased in the region.

The mountain was called Wildkarkopf at the time of the first ascent in 1892, and the name Wildkarspitze refers to the Wildkarkees glacier on its northern side. The Zittauer Hut below the summit is the usual base for climbers.

Climbers should start from Zittauer Hut at 2330 meters elevation and be prepared for grade II technical climbing on rock and ice. The route demands solid alpine skills and previous glacier experience.

The first ascent in 1892 by Karl Povinelli and Franz Hofer was made when the mountain was still called Wildkarkopf. The normal route today starts at the Zittauer Hut and climbs tracklessly to the arête with the Hoher Schaflkopf at UIAA grade II.
