Hinterreintalschrofen

BWf1

The Hinterreintalschrofen is a 2669 m high summit in the running from east to west main ridge (also called Teufelsgrat ) of Wettersteingebirge in the Eastern Alps. By nature he is a massive and dominant -acting summit with a high cliff, crashing into the northerly Reintal and the appearance of the weather greatly helps to shape the stone from the north. Nevertheless, the mountain is rarely climbed. Neighboring peaks are in the west of the high Wanner ( 2746 m) and in the east the dog barn heads ( 2533 m). The Teufelsgrat runs exactly on the border between Austria ( Tyrol, Gaistal ) in the south, and Germany ( the state of Bavaria, Reintal ) in the north.

First ascent

The first ascent took place on September 1, 1871 by Baron Hermann von Barth held by Stefan Beulke however, until 1897 by A. Heinrich and F. Henning.

Bases in Gaistal

• Gaistalalm to 1356 m
• Rotmoosalm to 2030 m
• Hemermoosalm to 1417 m

Lightest increase

From the Rotmoosalm the normal route leads in a walking time 2-3 hours over the southern flank of the Hinterreintalschrofen through couloirs and rock interspersed talus slope to a transition to the narrow western ridge that leads partially exposed on the very exposed summit. This route requires climbing skills in difficulty UIAA I.
