Wildspitze (3770 m) is the highest peak of Tirol and second highest in Austria. To climb Wildspitze, experience with climbing glaciated mountains is obligated. The help of a guide is essential for non-experienced climbers. The normal route on Wildspitze is graded PD- and therefore not too difficult, but when the snow is icy, the difficulties might increase substantially. Climbing Wildspitze requires two days in this case. 

Ascent: From Vent the path to Breslauer Hütte is an easy hike (T2/T3) that requires approximately 2 hours. From the hut, follow the sign post to Wildspitze via Mitterkarjoch. After a while you walking on a rocky terrain, you arrive at Mitterkarjoch. The path becomes quite steep here (~45 degree), and snow/ice can make this part quite challenging. If there is not much snow, there is a problem with rockfall. There is a ferrata (B/C) to the ridge before arriving at the glacier.

At Taschachferner you can rope up for the glacier that stretches towards Wildspitze. The glacier is not steep, but there are some crevasses. The final part of the summit is grade I/II climb.

Descent: Same as ascent.

Gear: Ice axe, crampons, glacier equipments, klettersteig set, helmet
