Hi, my name is Kyle Heuston-Connor, I'm an 18-year old Sport Climber from Gold Coast, Queensland specialising in Lead. I started climbing in 2021 and have been hooked ever since.

In 2024, I achieved one of my first major goals by winning the Youth Lead National Championship, which earned me the incredible opportunity to represent Australia at the Youth World Championship.

Now, in 2025, I’m training with a new goal: qualify for the Australian Open National Lead Team to compete in the Open World Cup circuit in 2026. These events are crucial for gaining international competition experience and working toward my long term goal of qualifying for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

To reach this next level, I’m dedicating everything this year to preparing for the Open Lead Nationals in November. I plan to compete in as many interstate lead competitions as possible to test my skills on hard comp-style routes and gain experience under pressure.

I’m seeking support to help cover costs such as:

• Travel (flights to nationals and interstate competitions)
• Coaching

Any donation would be greatly appreciated!
