Innsbruck in Austria is an iconic stage on the IFSC's World Cup circuit. This year the city was host to the final Boulder event of the year and the first Lead event of the year—in the same weekend. While this was no doubt exhausting for the athletes, it meant lots of climbing to watch for spectators.
After time away in Asia and then the Salt Lake City double-header, the circuit now returns to the European Alps for the next six events.
