February 13, 2010 Sport climbing is now fully recognised by the IOC
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has ratified and recognised the
International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) during its the 122nd Plenary Session at Vancouver, Canada. As the President of the IFSC Marco Scolaris explains, this is a fundamental step for sport climbing in its bid to become an Olympic sport.
After a first provisional IOC recognition in 2007,
IFSC has now passed the two-year "observation period" with flying colours,
meaning that the road to the Olympics is now open. In short, we are now at a crucial
turning point in the history of this sport and it's now up to climbing itself to
seize the moment with courage and decisiveness.
As the IFSC President Marco Scolaris explains much depends on the choices and objectives
which sport climbing will take and reach.

The landowner of Klöverberget has today banned climbing at the cliff for the time being. The access situation turned sensitive in mid June (see the news 15.6.2009: 'Klöverberget access issue') when a group of Russian climbers were acting noisy at the cliff. Today a group of Russian and/or Latvian climbers (country identified from their cars' register plates) walked over the field to the cliff. This is absolutely forbidden during the growing season. For not to making the situation worse, do not go to the cliff!

March 8-15, 2009
The Norwegian Alpine Club (NTK) is inviting two climbers
from each UIAA member federation to take part in an international winter
meet in the Lofoten islands, in the north of Norway, from March 8-15, 2009.
The theme for the meet is adventure, and the area has a lot
of potential for new routes. There are even rumours that some peaks have not
been ascended in winter. The conditions are good for climbing ice falls,
Scottish-style mixed and granite rock climbing.
The local club, Lofoten Tindeklubb, will offer traditional
northern Norwegian hospitality above the Arctic Circle. They will
introduce the
international guests to Norwegian-style climbing, help them
find good routes
and organise local transport by car or boat. Participants
should be experienced climbers who can look after themselves in a
cold climate.
NTK will pay for accommodation, meals and local transport,
so the only thing guests need to organise themselves is their travel
arrangements to the Lofoten Islands. The closest airport is Svolvær Lufthavn,
but you can also fly to Harstad/ Narvik Lufthavn, which is a couple of
hours' drive from the venue. The hosts will pick you up from either airport.
