World Climbing Championship

World Climbing Championship, formerly known as the IFSC Climbing World Championships, is the biennial world championship event for competition climbing that is organized by the World Climbing. This event determines the male and female world champions in the three disciplines of competition climbing: competition lead climbing, competition bouldering, and competition speed climbing. Since 2012, a combined ranking is also determined, for climbers competing in all disciplines, and additional medals are awarded based on that ranking. The first event was organized in Frankfurt in 1991.
