Vollkarspitze, Alpine summit in Bavaria, Germany
The Vollkarspitze rises to 2,630 meters within the Wetterstein mountain range, featuring steep limestone cliffs and challenging climbing routes along its faces.
The western peak of Vollkarspitze experienced a significant geological event in 2001 when it completely collapsed, altering the mountain's profile and climbing paths.
Mountain climbers from across Europe travel to Vollkarspitze to test their skills on the technical Jubiläumsgrat route, a traditional alpine climbing challenge.
Climbers need complete alpine equipment including ropes, harnesses, and helmets to attempt the ascent, while monitoring weather conditions remains essential for safety.
The Jubiläumsgrat-Biwakschachtel emergency shelter stands 862 meters west of the peak, providing basic protection for mountaineers during unexpected weather changes.
