Finice 2025 kilpailu järjestetään 1.3.2025. Finice2025 kilpailussa voit kilpailla avoimissa aikuisten ja nuorten sarjoissa Suomen mestaruuksista. Nuorten sarjat ovat U 16, U 18 ja U 20 sarjat.

Tänä vuonna odotamme ennätysmäärää suomalaisia jääkiipeilijöitä mukaan. Kilpailuissa jääkiipeilijät kiipeilevät pääosin vaneriseinällä ja muoviotteilla hakut käsissä ja fruittari-kengät jaloissa, joiden terävät kärkipiikit potkitaan vaneriseinään. Tiiviissä yhden päivän kilpailussa pääset näkemään hurjia suorituksia ja herkkiä hetkiä. Päivä alkaa karsinnoilla ja iltapäivän ja illan kuluessa Suomen kärkinimet ovat jäljellä näyttämässä taitonsa ja voimansa. Yleisö pääsee jännittämään, kuinka moni kiipeilee ylös asti ja kuinka näyttäviä tippumisia ja lentäviä hakkuja näissä kisoissa nähdään.

Tapahtuma on yleisölle pääsymaksuton!.

Kilpailijoille ja vapaaehtoisille illalla saunomista Oulun Kiipeilykeskuksen tiloissa. Iltatapahtumaan myydään myös pääsylippuja. Tarkempi ohjelma ja aikataulu julkaistaan myöhemmin, kun saadaan se valmiiksi!

Finice sustainability – short version

We proudly present our sustainability plan for the competition organization. It gives us tools to:

Evaluate each decision we make from sustainability point of view
Review our old practices – the way we have always done things
Invent new practices where they are needed
Develop Finice competition to even better each year
Educate organisers – we all learn while making the plan and doing the planned actions

Our sustainability plan consists of four fields: Ecological sustainability helps us value our actions from ecological point. For instance, we calculate our carbon footprint and aim to minimize it. we also follow the plan while making food and material purchases and set up competition infrastructure. Our competition facility – the ice climbing tower, is a permanent structure. Ecological values are considered in maintenance and ice making.

Social sustainability emphasis the values climbing as a sport and a lifestyle will teach us: co-operation, responsibility of each other and connection to nature. Also, the meaning of Finice-competition to local climbers and Finnish climbing community is written down. We support equal opportunity and created our code of conduct to follow.

Creating the cultural sustainability plan set us a target to provide the competitors feel welcome and familiarize with the Finnish and local culture. While they travel to Oulu for the competition, the trip is more memorable and fruitful to all senses if there is more than just sports.

Finally, economical sustainability plan is a tool that helps us understand the economical meaning of the competition. In any case organizing competitions has impact on local economy because competitors use money while they stay in Oulu and Finland. Also, the competition budget is notable, and we can choose where and with who we do our purchases.
