Peitlerkofel – North face Hruschka
Up the north face of the Peitlerkofel
Difficulty VI (UIAA) · 1 day · Dolomites
Peitlerkofel - North Face Hruschka: a great classic and a route that can hold its own against the best climbs in the Dolomites, yet is climbed relatively rarely. Quite undeservedly, as the rock is consistently excellent, the difficulties are very even at grades III and IV, and one short, punchy section adds a bit of spice. If you don't feel confident free-climbing it, you can also overcome this section with aid climbing. That takes nothing away from the experience on one of the truly great Dolomite faces.

PROGRAMME
Day tour: Hruschka route
We usually meet at the car park on the Würzjoch, or at a meeting point we arrange individually in advance so we can carpool up to the pass. After a short gear check, we hike for just under an hour and a half to the start of the route on the north face of the Peitlerkofel.
A varied route with interesting climbing passages awaits us. The crux is athletic and beautiful to climb. For a few moves, the route reaches grade VI. The rest of the climb is easier, very consistent and on rock of truly excellent quality. We will spend about 5 to 6 hours on the face. In total, there are 16 pitches.
On the summit, we stand on one of the finest viewpoints in the Dolomites. The descent via the normal route follows a short via ferrata in the uppermost section and otherwise presents no notable difficulties. After about 2 hours, we will be back at our car on the Würzjoch.
Total time: 9 h | ↑ 950 m | ↓ 950 m | Difficulty: VI (UIAA)
Any changes to the programme that may become necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, availability of accommodation, etc.) are always made in consultation with the participants.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
How difficult is the Hruschka route on the Peitlerkofel?
Overall, the route is very consistent at grades III and IV. The crux briefly reaches VI (UIAA). If you would rather not free-climb this passage, it can also be overcome with aid climbing. The tour is suitable for guests with solid climbing experience in alpine terrain.
What does a day on the Peitlerkofel north face look like?
We meet at the Würzjoch or, by arrangement, at a shared meeting point so we can carpool. From there it takes around an hour and a half to reach the start of the climb. We spend about 5 to 6 hours on the face, followed by the descent via the normal route with a short via ferrata in the upper section. All in all, you should allow a full day.
What do I need to bring for the tour?
You will receive the detailed packing list with your confirmation email. Above all, you need suitable mountain boots and climbing clothing for a long day on the face. Any equipment you are missing can be rented from Südtirolalpin for a small wear-and-tear fee.
