The Alpspitze is a rocky pyramid peak that dominates the skyline above Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, and rises 2628m above sea level. Looking up from Garmisch, the upper pyramid’s east facing ridge line looks completely exposed and unrideable, the edge appears razor sharp and only meant for the alpine climber, either with ropes and rock shoes or via klettersteigs. On closer inspection, however, the upper section just on the other side of the ridge line is a rocky slope, tiered with small rock steps and a faint path through loose rock leading to the summit cross. Still extremely exposed, but many sections from the summit down are rideable. The only problem is getting up there.. Great pictures and more
