.
Actually the name names the whole massive, the highest peak has no name of its own.
After Christian Zudrell's first ascent it lasted another 18 years until a second ascent was successful. This second tour ended all doubts about the first ascent as the two mounaineers Karl Blodig und Eugen Sohm encountered a rock on the peak of the mountain, that had the signs "C Z 70" engraved, the "visiting card" that Zudrell had left on the peak. This piece of rock was brought to the "Lindauer Hütte" in 1995 to protect it, as weather and lightnings had destroyed it more and more.
There is several routes for climbers mainly in the sheer drops of the southern face (which is the Graubünden
side on Swiss territory, and one of the peaks of the area of Dri Türm (meaning "three towers") can even be reached by a mountain hike (Swiss grade T4, signposted white and blue).
Eventually there is no need to go vertically and reach the top, you will also like it while walking horizontally on a day or multiday hike that follows the whole of the Rätikon chain on its sunny side, called "Prättigauer
Höhenweg".
