This time organizers changed the competitions' concept: instead of a usual "plywood" artificial icicle sportsmen were offered to climb real hanging ice cascades.
Only Harry Berger managed to top the final route. The Ukrainian Evgeny Krivosheitsev - the second, Austrian Markus Bendler - the third.
Among women nobody can meet the competition with Ines Papert: The German "snow queen" celebrates her next victory.
Stephanie Moro, France, - the second, Jenny Lavarda, Italy, seriously devoted this season for ice-climbing, is the third. The Russian Ksenia Sdobnikova is the fourth.
