The first-ever ice Wall Climbing Competition in India was organized by the North West Frontier Indo-Tibetan Border Police, or ITBP, in collaboration with the Ladakh Mountain Guide Association. The objective of the event is to promote participation from across the region, improve skills in extreme weather conditions, and nurture talent in Ladakh, which is located in the vicinity of the Karakoram and westernmost Himalayan mountain ranges. The event also aims to attract more tourism during winter when the number of visitors to the region plunges due to cold weather. The competition yielded candidates who could represent India in the Winter Olympics, which will be held next in 2026.
