The eastern of the three Breithorn summits; the collective name means 'broad horn' in German.
Eastern of the three main Breithorn summits, climbed as part of the classic east-to-west traverse of the Breithorn ridge.
The eastern of the three Breithorn summits, sometimes also called Breithorn-Ost. Reached on the Breithorn traverse east from the much more popular West summit, or directly from the Schwarztor by a short rock-and-snow climb. The full Breithorn traverse — Breithorn-West, Central, East, Roccia Nera — is one of the most enjoyable easy ridge traverses of the Pennine Alps and is the only practical way to tick the four separate UIAA summits in a single day.
