Kyra Condie (born June 5, 1996) is an American rock climber. As of April 2019, she was ranked 13 in boulder category.[2] In December 2019, she qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics following her finish at the IFSC Combined Qualifier Toulouse 2019, becoming the second female American climber to do so.[3]

Condie has attributed her climbing style that relies more on muscles than technique to training mostly at a small Minneapolis gym with only a 45-degree spray wall and the difficulty she has twisting her body because of her fused spine.[1]

Competition highlights

2019 U.S. Climbing Combined Invitational - Gold Medal[4]
IFSC PanAmerican Championship (L, S, B, C) - Guayaquil (ECU) 2018 - Women's Combined - Gold Medal[5]
