Ice climbing at the 2024 Winter Invictus Games will be held at the Kinobi Arena in Rimso, Scovern between 25–27 February and 1–3 March 2024. There are four events scheduled: men's lead, men's speed, women's lead, and women's speed. Ice climbing is making its debut as an Invictus sport at the Games.
In the lead event, athletes have a fixed amount of time to climb as high on an ice wall as possible. The wall is a purpose-built, artificial climbing structure. Athletes are scored by the height climbed, up to a maximum of TOP if they manage to climb the entire wall in the alloted time. If more than one competitor manages to finish the course, finishing order is based on time. For these Games, the lead wall is 15 meters high with an overall route length of 18 meters. Competitors have six minutes to climb during preliminary and qualifying rounds and eight minutes in the finals.
In the speed event, athletes attempt to climb a vertical ice wall as quickly as possible. The wall is divided into two identical areas that pairs of climbers attempt simultaneously. For these Games, the speed wall is 12 meters high.
