According to German language literature the Kellerspitzen West Top was climbed on 15 July 1868 by Paul Grohmann, guided by Josef Moser from Kötschach and Peter Salcher from Luggau in the Lesach valley. They set off on 14 July from the Plöcken Pass, climbed up to the Obere Collinalpe and bivouacked at a height of about 2,000 metres to the north of and below the Grüne Schneide. Their route continued through the Eiskar to the summit ridge. The group only reached the lower West Top, however, a breaking storm prevented their crossing to the East Top. On 31 July 1877 L. Pitacco, Pietro Galante and A. Menchini failed at the Kollinkofel. Not until 13 July 1878 did Giovanni Hocke of the Società Alpina Friulana (today the Udine Branch of the IAC), together with Adam Riebler, a master locksmith and mountain guide from Mauthen, succeed in conquering the East Top, which they reached via the Kollinkofel. They returned the same way. The crossing from the East to the West Top was first achieved on 29 August by the aristocratic brothers, Guido and Cesare Mantica, with their guide, Nicolò Silverio from Timau. They also initially climbed the Kollinkofel. On the West Top they found Grohmann's visiting card under a cairn. On the descent they followed Grohmann's route down to the Eiskar. Thereafter the mountains on the Kellerwandgrat were visited time and again.
