BACKGROUND
Colin Duffy made history by winning both bouldering and lead Gold at the same World Cup series which had never been done before. Most recently, he made history again by becoming the first 2-time U.S. Climbing Olympian when he brought home the Silver medal at World Championships and secured his spot at the Paris Olympic Games.
Colin was the youngest member of the USA Climbing team that competed in Tokyo for the 2020 Olympic Games. He clinched his spot on the team, and in the history books, in March 2020 for the sports debut in the Olympics. He started climbing when he was just five years old at ABC Kids Climbing in Boulder, CO, where he still trains today.
Not only is Colin known in the competition climbing world, he has made a name for himself as he conquered some of the most impressive outdoor climbs at the Red River Gorge and Hurricane, Utah in just a few days.
Outside of sport, Colin is a Sophomore at the University of Boulder, where he is majoring in Applied Math. He also enjoys working puzzles and Rubik’s cubes. His family works closely with the Denver Rescue Mission and the Denver Food Bank. Colin has helped rebuild local climbing trails and looks to expand his efforts on causes that preserve and maintain climbing and hiking trails.
