The free-standing peak offers a magnificent view over large parts of the Tannheim mountains, the neighbouring Ammergau mountains and the Alpine foothills. As the normal route only requires short climbing sections in the first degree, the Gehrenspitze is at the top of the wish list of high-level hikers. Climbers, on the other hand, rarely get lost here, which is partly due to the long ascent and partly to the alpine character of the routes.
The Gehrenspitze is almost completely climbable. Like all Tannheim mountains it shows its friendly face towards the south. In the southern face, which is at most almost 200 metres high, also more moderate climbers have a job to do. Provided that they are more interested in peace and quiet than in socialising with other mountain friends.

The north face of the Gehrenspitze is the most closed wall of the Tannheimer Berge, but due to the rather alpine protection it is only rarely visited.
The most frequented paths are the "Hermann Loderer Ged. Weg" and the classic Direct North Face, also called "Maiselführe". The "Battertriss" running between them is one of the greatest climbing achievements of the 1920s.
All routes on the Gehrenspitze North Face have nothing to do with climbing on the sunny side of Tannheim and are only recommended to climbers with alpine experience who can handle wedges and crumbly rock!
