UIAA Ice Climbing World Cup
The Ice Climbing World Cup is an annual ice climbing competition organized by the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (UIAA), who has regulated and governed the sport of competition ice climbing since the first IWC in 2000. It is the ice climbing equivalent of the IFSC Climbing World Cup in rock climbing.
Structure
The IWC is organized as an annual tour consisting of three to six events throughout the season, in which men's and women's lead climbing and speed climbing competitions are held. The lead climbing routes are held on largely bolted dry artificial surfaces and thus employ dry-tooling techniques. The speed-climbing routes are on a standardized 12-18 meter wall of solid ice that takes seconds for top roped ice climbers to complete.Over the years, the UIAA has increased the regulation and use around competition ice climbing equipment, including the prohibition of leashes on ice tools, and increased controls on the use of "heel spurs" while climbing.
