Wendenhorn

Turning horn from the west, taken from the yoke between the Fünffingerstöck and the Tropic Horn

The reversing horn is a 3023 m high mountain in the Urner Alps. It is located south of the Titlis and north ( south-west ) and the Grassen (northeast ) of the Susten Pass road between the five-finger sticks. About the Summit, the cantonal border to the Swiss cantons of Uri and Bern runs.

The summit is made entirely of rock, which is of a small glacier, the chli Sustlifirn, framed. The chli Sustlifirn must not be underestimated and is relatively row despite its small size.

Starting point for an ascent is the Sustenbrüggli (1907 m ) on the Susten pass road. The easiest ascent leads either directly from Sustenbrüggli or the Sustlihütte on the Stöss and from there to the chli Sustlifirn. About this glacier to reach the yoke between the Fünffingerstöck ( 2994 m) and the Tropic Horn and from there via the west ridge (II- III) to the summit. It is well worth the southeast ridge (the first four pitches V can be bypassed, then III). As descent is done either the excess over the west ridge or you abseils on the northeast wall. The routes are only sporadically equipped with bolts
