Roggalspitze
Location and area
The Roggalspitze is a steep, rocky peak made of light Upper Rhaetian Limestone, which rises above the alm of the Brazer Staffel in the east of the Lechquellen range. To the south a rocky arête runs across to the 2,753 m Untere Wildgrubenspitze.
Ascent
From the Ravensburger Hut the summit may be reached in 3 hours on the normal route through the schrofen terrain of the southeast side. The route, which is protected with wire cable in places, has numerous grade II- (UIAA) climbing sections. The Roggalspitze is well known, however, for its climbing routes, especially the ascent up the north face (IV+). Other well known routes are the southwest arête (IV), west face (IV), southeast arête (III), east face (V/VI) and northeast tower (VI). In addition, there are shorter routen and variants of up to grade VIII-.
