Leiterspitze, Mountain summit in Tirol, Austria.

Leiterspitze is the 2,750-metre main summit of the Medriol, a subgroup of the central Lechtal Alps in Tirol, bounded by the Madautal to the west and the Gramaiser Tal to the east. A saddle, the Leiterscharte, separates it from the northern Kleine Leiterspitze; both peaks are visible from Gramais. The final ascent from the saddle is easy rock climbing of UIAA grade I.

The Leiterspitze is the main summit of the Medriol, the subgroup of the central Lechtal Alps bounded by the Madautal to the west and the Gramaiser Tal to the east. Its climbing history is recorded in the Alpenvereinsführer Lechtaler Alpen by Dieter Seibert (Bergverlag Rother, Munich, 2008) and on Alpenvereinskarte sheet 3/3, Parseierspitze, at 1:25,000. The routes described there approach the summit through the Alblitjoch and the Leiterscharte, or from the Württemberger Haus via the Leiterjöchl or Bitterscharte.

The name Leiterspitze refers to the Leiterscharte, the saddle between the two summits; Leiter means ladder in German. The massif's two peaks, Kleine and Große Leiterspitze, are both visible from Gramais, and climbers distinguish them by these names. Ascents are described in Dieter Seibert's Alpenvereinsführer Lechtaler Alpen (2008) and on Alpenvereinskarte sheet 3/3, Parseierspitze.

The ascent requires approximately 9.5 hours of hiking time starting from Gramais at 1,321 meters elevation, with Grade I UIAA climbing sections and proper mountaineering equipment including sturdy footwear for loose rock terrain.

The mountain consists of two peaks separated by the Leiterscharte saddle, with the northern subsidiary peak called Kleine Leiterspitze and the southern main summit known as Große Leiterspitze.
