From Tokyo to Vail, Mountain Hardwear climber Kyra Condie has spent most of her year on the Bouldering World Cup circuit. Kyra filmed her journey as she traveled the globe, competing and training as she gears up for the IFSC Climbing World Championships in Innsbruck, Austria
At age 13, Kyra Condie had ten vertebrae fused to combat her scoliosis. After questioning whether she’d be able to climb and compete again, her doctor told her, “send me a picture when you’re on top of the podium.” Kyra’s focus, determination, and passion for the sport have since propelled her to six national titles and the 2020 Olympics.
After being indoors on the Bouldering World Cup circuit for most the summer, Kyra Condie got back on some sandstone this July, with a checklist of projects on a few classic Rocklands boulders.
