10th edition of Ice Master with a new climbing structure

From Friday 14th to Sunday 16th in Limès (Daone valley): 10th edition of Ice Master with a new climbing structure

Last preparations to celebrate the Ice Master World competition in Daone Valley

Feverish preparations are under way in Limès in Daone Valley for the 10th edition of the Ice Master that will be very innovative. For the very first time for this big event the athletes will climb on a fixed structure even though one hundred meters distant from the mobile one used in the last years.

This innovative structure consist of three huge tubular cages fixed on three reinforced concrete blocks covered with recycled plastic panels in green tones in order to better adapt to the suggestive Daone Valley landscape.

The 10th edition of the most famous ice climbing competition in the world (Ice Master World Cup) will take place from Friday 14th to Sunday 16th January 2011. The decennial is a very important goal that deserves the very big investment for the new fixed structure which includes some service rooms such as a newsroom, a stock room and a place for the timekeepers and the judges. All that in order to improve the excellent organization of the last years.

For the 10th time Daone has been officially chosen by the UIIA to be an important stage in the Ice Climbing World Cup Tour, thanks to the flawless organization of the event by the chairman Romolo Ghezzi and his volunteers and the skills of the engineer Maurizio Gallo in building the climbing walls.

Even this year there will be some events that let athletes, spectators and tourists try ice climbing on the several natural waterfalls of Daone Valley organized by La Sportiva International Ice Meeting Pareti di Cristallo from 15th to 16th January 2011.

A chance not to be missed for those who want to learn some more about climbing in a wonderful landscape.

This one will be the 13th edition of the most important Italian ice climbing happening.
