the very first "Ice World Cup" (IWC) competition took place under the new UIAA rules and codes.

Amongst others, the UIAA runs two main competition ice climbing events, the annual Ice Climbing World Cup (which is run as a series of events in the year) and the bi-annual Ice Climbing World Championships (a single, once-off, competition).

Most of the IWC lead climbing routes are held on bolted dry artificial surfaces
