In bouldering, at the World Cup in Moscow, in the women's final, there were three athletes who flashed all 4 boulders (Katharina Saurwein of Austria, Natalija Gros and Katja Vidmar both of Slovenia), however Katharina Saurwein of Austria was the only one who flashed all boulders in the competition (qualification, semifinal, final) and thus taking the win. At the end of the season, Austrian athletes, Kilian Fischhuber and Anna Stöhr clinched the overall titles of the season for men and women respectively, making it double bouldering titles for Austria.

In lead climbing, Johanna Ernst of Austria, in her first year of eligibility to compete in the World Cup circuit, made her debut in bouldering in Hall, Austria. Then she competed in lead climbing and won 3 out of 6 Lead World Cups and became the overall women's lead climbing winner of the season.
