Highlights of the season

In bouldering, at the World Cup in Hall, Austria, Akiyo Noguchi of Japan and Anna Stöhr of Austria flashed all boulders in the final round, and because they were tied on countbacks too, they did a super final round where they both also flashed the boulder problem, eventually making them both joint winners.

In lead climbing, at the World Cup in Puurs, Belgium, Johanna Ernst of Austria, Jain Kim of South Korea, and Maja Vidmar of Slovenia were tied in the final round and tied on countbacks too, so they did a super final round where Johanna Ernst took the win.

Adam Ondra of Czech Republic, at age sixteen, made his debut in the World Cup circuit in bouldering competition in Hall, Austria, placing third. He then competed in lead climbing, won 4 out of 6 Lead World Cups and the overall men's lead title of the season. He also won the men's combined title of the season.
