Campionatul Mondial de Escalada pe Gheata

We are honored to introduce you to the UIAA Ice Climbing World Cup - Buteni 2010, the finals of the most important and spectacular world competition of this kind. As a result of our successful history as World Cup organizers we have been entrusted with the staging, for the 3rd time in four years, of the Cups Finals; and of the first ever European Championship of Ice Climbing, difficulty and speed. Every year we have come up with a novelty. In 2009 a refrigeration unit was been installed allowing the competition to take place on high-qualityice at temperatures of up to +10C. This is a world-first, designed and built in Canada specially for Buteni. Its uniqueness will boost the international image of the Buteni events as it represents a new proof of the seriousness and passion with which the organizers, the Romanian Alpine Club and the Municipality of Buteni are constantly preoccupied with the improving the image of these events.

For 2010, we are preparing a new climbing facility designed on the concept of an opera stage: nothing is fixed, routes will be changed and redesigned within hours, providing unlimited options. With this new concept we hope to set a standard and an example.

We have also set the goal to cover at least 60% of the climbing routes with ice. Hence, large surfaces of artificially refrigerated climbing features have been incorporated; and a refrigeration container will keep smaller elements, panels and modules below freezing point and ready for installation prior to the competition.
We will have a new Tag Heuer timing system with large panels and real-time scoring of both the on-going event and of the overall World Cup.

Ice climbing has been a necessity for those who wanted to climb in winter conditions mountaineering routes with extreme technical difficulties. It later developed into an independent sport, thus implying the need for it to take place on artificial structures that increase the difficulty and allow spectators to enjoy spectacular performances in competition conditions.

Statements in the previous competitions:
Buteni, top of the World would you have ever thought that the best World Cup is a Romanian one? Buteni....organizes the best stage of the World Cup on a structure that eclipses the famous one in Val Daone, Italy... Pareti Climbing Magazine I am happy that in the final I climbed the route and that I won. Those who designed the climbing structure really did an extraordinary job. The spectators were great. I appreciated the organisers constant care during the whole competition. Ines PAPERT, World Cup Winner (Germany) It is the best competition. It was marvellous. The climbing structure is the most difficult in the world. The audience encouraged us. It was a real contest, but we cannot say that there is only a winner. We are all winners. Evgeny KRYVOSHEYTSEV , Busteni Stage Winner (Ukraine) I was very happy that I managed to get to the end of the route. I am extremely happy because I am leading the World Championship. The structure and the routes in Buteni are very good. I am glad that you show enthusiasm. I felt that a lot of people endeavoured to bring the top quality to the contest. It is a good reason for me to come back... Hari BERGER, Woeld Cup Winner (Austria).

Organisers : The Romanian Alpine Club - CAR
The Romanian Alpine Club was created in 1936, at present counting over 600 members and 20 branches throughout the country; it has been the only Romanian organisation member with full rights in the UIAA, since 1937. In 1936, CAR has become involved in the vanguard of a number of mountain activities in Romania, such as: trail maintenance, building of the Costila Refuge in 1938, building the CAR Mountain Centre in Busteni in 1939, printing the Alpine Bulletin and starting the first school of modern technical mountain climbing. Continuing this tradition, CAR organized the Ice Climbing World Cup in Romania for the first time in February 2006. As a result of the excellent outcome, the UIAA awarded CAR in 2007 the right to hold the World Cup Finals; in 2008 the third stage, and for the first time in the world the World Speed Climbing Record competition; in 2009, for the second time the World Cup Finals and, again, the Speed Record competition.
