Our Olympic Journey Continues
Ice climbing will not be part of the 2030 French Alps Winter Olympics. While disappointing, the UIAA confirmed the bid demonstrated “compelling strengths” — and our commitment to growing this sport has never been stronger.
We’re focused on what matters most: expanding competition venues, building youth pathways, and developing the next generation of American ice climbers.
