The Malhamspitzen (originally called the Malchamspitze by Carl Sonklar) are the four peaks of a mighty massif on the Maurerkamm, an Alpine mountain chain in the Venediger Group in Austria's High Tauern National Park. They rise south of the Reggentörl (3,047 m above sea level (AA)) and are only separated from one another by small cols. The literature distinguishes them as follows:
- Nördliche Malhamspitze, north top (3,368 m (AA)),
- Mittlere Malhamspitze, middle top (3,318 m above sea level (AA)),
- Südliche Malhamspitze, south top (3,326 m above sea level (AA)),
- Südlichste Malhamspitze, southernmost top (3,255 m above sea level (AA), 47°02′27″N 12°15′30″E / 47.040739°N 12.258252°E)
The Malhamhorn (3,186 m above sea level (AA)) also belongs to the group.
Location and area
The Malhamspitzen are surrounded by glaciers. To the west of the north-south crest of the Malhamspitzen lies the Gubachkees, which drains into the River Isel; to the east, feeding the Maurerbach, are the Südliche Malhamkees (also: Böses Wandkees) and the lower-lying Nördliche Malhamkees which has melted drastically in recent years.
Ascent
The four peaks were first climbed on 12 July 1873 by Prague Alpinist, Victor Hecht, and mountain guide, Johann Außerhofer along the west side from the Clara Hut and over the Umbalgletscher glacier. At that time Hecht only distinguished four summits.[1]
The route runs over the southern part of the Simonykees glacier from the Essener-Rostocker Hut and over the Reggentörl towards the west and continues over the expansive Umbalkees, then follows the Isel stream to the Clara Hut.[2]
