The Admonter rich stone is a mountain in the Alps and Ennstaler the highest and easternmost mountain of the rich stone group. An ascent of the mountain requires at least climb in the second degree.

Topography

The Admonter rich stone has three peaks, these are from West to East, the Horn Admonter 2184 m, the rich stone summit 2251 m above sea level. A. and Totenköpfl 2178 m. The Admonter horn is separated from the main peak by the rich stone saddle 2170 m. The Totenköpfl is separated by the rich stone Charte 2100 m from the rich stone summit. The mountain is surrounded on all sides by steep walls and crashes. From Sparafeld in the west of the rich stone is separated by the wild Charte 1903 m.

Rises

The normal route to the rich stone leads from the Mödlinger hut on a path to the heart man -copper cross, before he then crosses partially plate shots ( Herzmann copper plate ) in the area of ​​the South Canyon below the rich stone lip. The further increase takes place first through this gorge and then over craggy, before crossing the southern ridge and finally rises above craggy light to the summit. The crossing of a plate and a short vertical location in the gorge demand climbs in the second degree. The Totenköpfl is of the rich stone lip in a short climb reached a point is in the lower III. Degrees.

In addition to the normal route of the rich stone offers an abundance of climbing routes of varying difficulty, including the south ridge (one digit IV, otherwise lighter), the West Ridge (III, fragile), or the north-east pillar ( VI, V ). Another climb to the rich stone via the east ridge on the Totenköpfl (III ), here you abseil into the rich stone lip, and then climbs through the rich stone east wall (usually I-II, max. III, but very vulnerable rockfall! ) Almost directly Unters summit cross.

Geology

The summit of Admonter rich stone is as well Sparafeld and Kalbling from Dachstein limestone formed, which is in contrast hardly gebankt here about the Hochtorgruppe because it is reef limestone. We can observe the original order from the Dachstein limestone over Raibler layers, Ramsau and Werfen strata on the north side of the rich stone. On the south side, this episode is cut off by a fault. The Werfen strata are missing here and there almost immediately follow the Paleozoic rocks of the greywacke zone.
