Lead

The lead competition was the first event held at the 2018 World Championships. The womens' qualification took place on the opening day, 6 September, at the Kletterzentrum, and the mens' was held the following day at the same location. Womens' semi-final and final were held on 8 September and the respective mens' competitions the next day both at the Olympiaworld.

Women

101 athletes attended the womens' lead competition. In the final penultimate climber Jessica Pilz was the first to top the route. Janja Garnbret came out as the last climber and topped the route as well. As both climbers had the same first tiebreaker by virtue of having topped the semi-final route the ranking was decided by their time on the final route, which Pilz had climbed faster and thus was awarded the Gold Medal. Bronze went to Kim Ja-in.

Combined

In the Combined competition the six most successful athletes of the previous competitions competed against each other in Speed, Bouldering and Lead. The athletes were selected by multiplying each athletes rank from the three individual competitions. The six climbers with the lowest scores determined by this method were invited to compete in the Combined final. In the final itself the athletes were again ranked by multiplying their rank in the Speed, Bouldering and Lead portion with a lower score leading to a better Combined rank.

The womens' and men's combined final were both held at the Olympiaworld, the womens' on 15 September and the mens' on 16 September.
