Two Teams. One USA Ice Climbing.
Starting in 2026, USA Ice Climbing is fielding two teams for the first time — more athletes will represent the program than ever before.
The USA Ice Climbing team at the UIAA Ice Climbing World Cup — Longmont Climbing Collective, the same venue hosting this year's tryouts.
World Cup Tour
World Team
The athletes who carry USA Ice Climbing onto the World Cup circuit — chosen not just for how they climb, but for how they represent the program on and off the wall.
Developmental Path
National Team
A brand-new path — for athletes building toward the World Team, and for past World Team athletes staying sharp. National Team athletes compete together at events like Continental Cups, growing the sport in every community they reach.
Sunday
Team Announcement
World Team, National Team, and Youth Team rosters will be announced together, right before the Picks & Pitons Finals.
