    American Alpine ClubA
    USA Ice Climbing (USAIC) and the American Alpine Club (AAC) proudly announce that USAIC has become an independent organization and is moving toward 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. This milestone establishes USAIC as the official organization representing competitive ice climbing in the United States, supporting athletes at the national level and on the international World Cup circuit, as the sport gains global momentum and is under consideration for inclusion in the French 2030 Winter Olympics. The formation of USAIC as an independent nonprofit marks a major step in the evolution of competitive ice climbing, creating a dedicated platform to grow the sport, elevate elite athletes, and strengthen pathways from grassroots participation to international competition. Similarly, USA Skimo (Ski Mountaineering), which also shared strong roots with the AAC, debuted as the only new sport at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. USAIC was recently approved as an Associate Member of the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation (UIAA), a significant achievement supported by the American Alpine Club, which serves as the United States’ National Federation Member to the UIAA. This recognition further reinforces USAIC’s role on the global stage and its commitment to international collaboration and excellence. For more information, please contact USAIC at www.usaiceclimbing.org. Founded in 1902, the American Alpine Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing knowledge, inspiration, and advocacy for climbers. Guided by a shared passion for climbing, the AAC delivers world-renowned resources that support and inspire the climbing community. https://americanalpineclub.org/news/2026/3/18/usa-ice-climbing-forms-as-an-independent
