Ice World Cup 2000 - Will Gadd

Interview with Will Gadd, winner of the Ice Boulder Cortina, third leg of the Ice World Cup 2000


Apart from having made a name for yourself climbing hard routes on ice, you were also Canadian National Champion for sports climbing for a number of years. Does having this competition experience help you for these events?

Well, I think the thing that helps me most for these competitions is paragliding competitions.


Why is that?


Because the rules in paragliding competitions are very open to interpretation and so the competitions are sometimes difficult to understand. You see, in my opnion the rules for these IWC competitions are completely nuts. They are the craziest competitions I have ever competed in.
