Angelika Rainer Info
Angelika Rainer (born October 18, 1986 in Merano) is a three-time world champion and two-time vice world champion in ice climbing. Already as a child Angelika liked hiking with her mother in the mountains of South Tyrol. After she came in touch with a rock at the age of 10, doing her very first fixed-rope route, she couldn’t think about anything but climbing. The climbing hall, that was opened two years later in her hometown Merano, gave Angelika the possibility to indulge her passion with every fibre of her body. She took part in regional, national and international competitions and, after winning the Junior Italian Championships several times, in 2007 she reached one of her career goals by becoming Senior Italian Champion in Sportsclimbing. Than in 2009 Angelika’s childhood dream came true: she became World Champion in Ice Climbing in Saas Fe, Switzerland, a goal she was aiming for many years. In 2011 she was able to defend the title in Busteni, Romania and to become again World Champion. In 2013 she conquers the incredible third World Championship in a row! In 2015 Angelika becomes 2nd at the World Championship in Rabenstein in Passeier, close to her hometown Merano and in the same year she wins for the second time after her success in 2012, the World Cup overall ranking. On the rock Angelika climbs routes until the grade 8b+ and with the first female ascent of the route “Italia 61”, 8a, 250m on Piz Ciavaces in the Dolomites, in 2008 she got a nice result also in this ambit of climbing.
