Stempeljochspitze, Mountain summit in Karwendel range, Austria.

Stempeljochspitze refers to two peaks in the Gleirsch-Halltal chain of the Karwendel in Tyrol: the Große Stempeljochspitze at 2543 m, which is rocky, and the Kleine Stempeljochspitze at 2539 m about 200 m to the southwest, which carries the summit cross and drops to the Stempeljoch via a broad grassy south ridge called Holzlege.

The Stempeljochspitze belongs to the Gleirsch-Halltal-Kette, the chain north of the Stempeljoch pass (2215 m) that links it with the Nordkette. The two summits are named separately: the Große Stempeljochspitze at 2543 m and, about 200 metres to the southwest, the Kleine Stempeljochspitze at 2539 m, which carries the summit cross. The normal route runs from the pass over the broad grassy south ridge, the Holzlege, in about an hour to the Kleine peak, then continues in grade I (UIAA) climbing to the Große peak; the ascent is also a popular ski tour, and several climbing routes of grades II to VI- lead up the west and east faces.

The Kleine Stempeljochspitze carries the summit cross, while the higher Große peak is reached from it by climbing of UIAA grade I. The broad southern ridge, called Holzlege, is a popular ski tour in winter. Several climbing routes of grades II to VI- run up the west and east faces.

The climb from Stempeljoch takes about one hour over a broad southern ridge to the smaller peak. Good footwear and sure-footedness are important, and the southern route offers an easier path to the summit.

The two summits stand about 200 metres apart: the Kleine Stempeljochspitze (2539 m) carries the summit cross and is reached in about an hour from the Stempeljoch via the broad grassy southern ridge called Holzlege, while the Große Stempeljochspitze (2543 m) is only 4 metres higher and needs UIAA grade I scrambling. Several climbing routes of grades II to VI- run up the west and east faces.
